When you have to get these measurements completely then you apply some multiplication as follows: Calculate cubic feet for different units (formula) From feet: length (ft) × width (ft) × height (ft) = cubic feet From inches: length (in) × width (in) × height (in) ÷ 1728 = cubic feet
First distribute 3 to (x-4). that gives you 3x-12. Now your equation is x-2=3x-12. Now you subtract x from 3x. now you're equation is -2=2x-12. then add 12 to the left. You're final answer is 10.
