Answer 1

Let's solve each equation step by step to identify the correct responses:

**Question 1: Solve the equation \( x + 12 = 42 \)**

To isolate \( x \), we need to subtract 12 from both sides:

\[
x + 12 - 12 = 42 - 12
\]
\[
x = 30
\]

The true statement is: **Subtract 12 from both sides of the equal sign. x = 30.**

---

**Question 2: Solve the equation \( x - 6 = 18 \)**

To isolate \( x \), we need to add 6 to both sides:

\[
x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6
\]
\[
x = 24
\]

The true statement is: **Add 6 to both sides of the equal sign. x = 24.**

### Summary of True Statements:
1. For Question 1: **Subtract 12 from both sides of the equal sign. x = 30.**
2. For Question 2: **Add 6 to both sides of the equal sign. x = 24.**
