Question

Help solve this problem

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 14) + (x + 12) = 12

Combine like terms

2x + 26 = 12

Subtract 26 from both sides

2x = -14

Divide both sides by 2

x = -7

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

PQ +QR = PR

x + 14 + x + 12 = 12

Combine like terms

x + x + 14 + 12 = 12

        2x + 26 = 12

Subtract 26 from both sides

               2x = 12 - 26

               2x = -14

Divide both side by 2

                 x = -14/2 =

x = -7
