Question

He following equation. 2x – 12 = 5 What is the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=\frac{17}{2}$ or $x=8.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Move all terms not containing  x  to the right side of the equation.

2x = 17

Divide each term by  2  and simplify.

x = 17/2

x = 8.5

good luck, hope this helps :)

Answer 2

At 12 to 5! (It’s positive adding because there is a subtraction symbol before 12!)
which ends up being 17
so now we have:
2x = 17
now we are going to divide 2 from 17 to make X have no numbers next to it
17/2= 8.5
so your answer is x = 8.5 !
