We divide by 2 on both sides.
We get the final answer as
x = 5/2 = 2.5
Answer: x=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
1. distribute the 2 to (3x-12) >>>> 8x+6x-24=-122
2. add 8x and 6x to get 14x >>>> 14x-24=-122
3. add 24 to both sides>>>> 14x=-98
4. divide 14 by both sides>>>x=-7
1 foot is 12 inches
so 12 times 2
24
the answer is 24 inches
