Answer 3

nope 12 does do it

Answer 4

x=1.5

Answer 5

Sorry about that. Yes, the correct answer is x=24. Thank you for pointing that out.

Answer 6

Let's substitute each number into the equation and see which one makes it true:

For x = 8: 8*4 + 2 = 32 + 2 = 34 ≠ 5
For x = 12: 12*4 + 2 = 48 + 2 = 50 ≠ 5
For x = 16: 16*4 + 2 = 64 + 2 = 66 ≠ 5
For x = 20: 20*4 + 2 = 80 + 2 = 82 ≠ 5

None of the options from the set {8, 12, 16, 20} make the equation x4+2=5 true.

Answer 7

I apologize for the error in my explanation. Let's correct that:

Substitute x = 12 into the equation:

12*4 + 2 = 48 + 2 = 50

The equation x4 + 2 = 5 is not true when x = 12.

I apologize for any confusion in my previous responses.
