To solve the equation, we will first simplify both sides of the equation:
12 + 3x = 6x - 4(x-5)
Distribute the -4:
12 + 3x = 6x - 4x + 20
Combine like terms:
12 + 3x = 2x + 20
Now, we want to isolate the variable x. We can start by subtracting 2x from both sides:
12 + 3x - 2x = 2x + 20 - 2x
Combine like terms:
12 + x = 20
Next, we can subtract 12 from both sides:
12 + x - 12 = 20 - 12
Simplify:
x = 8
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 8.
Solve the equation for x. Make sure to show work.
12+3x=6x−4(x−5)
