To solve the equation 2x + 12 = 18 - x, we can combine like terms by adding x to both sides of the equation:
2x + x + 12 = 18
This simplifies to:
3x + 12 = 18
Next, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
3x = 6
Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:
x = 2
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 2.
2x + 12 = 18 - x
