Question

Honors algebra!! Plz help #22

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

12 times x (the first square) is equal to 16 times x-2 (the second square)

$12x = 16(x-2)$

Distributed

$12x = 16x-32$

Simplified (divided by 16)

$0.75x = x-2$

Subtract x from both side of the equation

$-0.25x = -2$

Both negatives cancel each other out

$0.25x = 2$

0.25 times what equals 2,...

$x = 8$

Hope it help,... and I'll see you in life,... well not really, but you get the idea,... Chow,...!
