Solve the following equation for x: 12x+2=26

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large{ \tt{❃ \: STEP-BY-STEP \: EXPLANATION}} :$

$\large{ \tt{❁ \: ORIGINAL \: PROBLEM : 12x + 2 = 26}}$

• We want to remove the 2 first. Since the original equation is + 2 , we're gonna use the opposite operation and subtract 2 form both sides.

$\large{ \tt{↦ \: 12x + 2 - 2 = 26 - 2}}$

• Simplify! 2 - 2 = 0 on the left and 26 - 2 = 24 on the right.

$\large{ \tt{↦ \:12x = 24}}$

• Then we need to think about how to remove the coefficient 12 . Since the opposite of multiplication is division , we're going to divide both sides by 12.

$\large{ \tt{ ↦ \: \frac{12x}{12} = \frac{24}{12}}}$

• Simplify. 12/ 12 = 1 on the left and 24 / 12 = 2 on the right. So our answer is x = 2 .

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \large{ \tt{↦x = 2}}}} \large✓$

Answer 2

___________________________________

Problem:

• Solve the following equation for x:

$\quad \quad \quad \quad \boxed{\tt{ 12x+2=26}}$

Solution:

$\quad \quad \quad \quad \tt{ ↦ 12x+2=26}$

$\quad \quad \quad \quad \tt{ ↦12x=26 - 2}$

$\quad \quad \quad \quad \tt{ ↦ 12x=24}$

$\quad \quad \quad \quad \tt{ ↦ \frac{12x}{12} = \frac{24}{12} }$

$\quad \quad \quad \quad \tt{ ↦ \frac{ \cancel{ \red{12}} \: x}{ \cancel \red{12}} = \frac{24}{12} }$

$\quad \quad \quad \quad {\tt{ ↦\boxed{ x = 2}}}$

So the final answer is:

$\quad \quad \quad \quad \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{ \color{magenta}x = 2}}}$
