2x – 12 = 10

1 answer

To solve the equation \(2x - 12 = 10\), follow these steps:

  1. Add 12 to both sides to isolate the term with \(x\): \[ 2x - 12 + 12 = 10 + 12 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x = 22 \]

  2. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for \(x\): \[ \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{22}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 11 \]

So, the solution is \(x = 11\).
