4x+12=2x+10

1 answer

To solve for x, we first need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:

4x + 12 = 2x + 10

Subtract 2x from both sides:
4x - 2x + 12 = 2x - 2x + 10
2x + 12 = 10

Subtract 12 from both sides:
2x + 12 - 12 = 10 - 12
2x = -2

Now, divide by 2 to solve for x:
2x/2 = -2/2
x = -1

Therefore, the solution to the equation 4x + 12 = 2x + 10 is x = -1.
