Solve the following equation *

12x + 40 = 304
O x=18
O x=22
O x=24
O x=25

1 answer

To solve the equation, let's isolate the variable x:

First, subtract 40 from both sides of the equation:
12x + 40 - 40 = 304 - 40
12x = 264

Then, divide both sides of the equation by 12:
12x/12 = 264/12
x = 22

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 22.
