For the first equation \( x + 12 = 42 \):
To isolate \( x \), you would subtract 12 from both sides:
\[ x + 12 - 12 = 42 - 12 \ x = 30 \]
So the correct true statement is: Subtract 12 from both sides of the equal sign. x = 30.
For the second equation \( x - 6 = 18 \):
To isolate \( x \), you would add 6 to both sides:
\[ x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6 \ x = 24 \]
So the correct true statement is: Add 6 to both sides of the equal sign. x = 24.
