2x + 4X = 12

X = ?

Thank you.
Answered by Ms. Sue
2x + 4X = 12

6x = 12

Divide both sides of the equation by 6.
Answered by Neil Smith

Is it X = 3?

Thank you for answering my question.
Answered by Brady
No, x is not 3.

If you were to put 3 as x in the equation, this would be what it looks like.

2(3)+ 4(3)=12

Obviously, you can tell that when everything is solved it does not equal 3 as x.

2 times 3 equals 6, and 4 times 3 equals 12.

6 + 12 = 12

18 = 12

So, 3 is not the value of x.

Answered by Neil Smith
Is 2 correct answer?
Answered by Brady
Yes 2 is the correct answer, when you put 2 in the equation, it checks out.

2(2) + 4(2) = 12

2 times 2 equals 4, and 4 times 2 equals 8.

4 + 8 = 12

12 = 12

So, yes 2 is again the correct answer.
