To solve the equation \( x + 12 = 42 \), you would need to subtract 12 from both sides of the equation. Here's how it works:
1. Start with the equation:
\( x + 12 = 42 \)
2. Subtract 12 from both sides:
\( x + 12 - 12 = 42 - 12 \)
3. This simplifies to:
\( x = 30 \)
So, the correct statement is:
**Subtract 12 from both sides of the equal sign. x = 30.**
