Solve for x

Question

/2x + 39 +5 =12
x = 5
x = 5

x = 2
x = 2

x = 44
x = 44

x=125

Answer 1

Let's solve the equation step by step.

The equation we need to solve is:

$$\frac{2x+39+5}{12}=12$$

First, we simplify the equation:

1. Combine the terms in the numerator:

$$\frac{2x+44}{12}=12$$

2. To eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides by 12:

$$2x+44=144$$

3. Now, subtract 44 from both sides:

$$2x=144-44$$

$$2x=100$$

4. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for $x$:

$$x=\frac{100}{2}=50$$

So, the correct solution for $x$ is:

$$x=50$$

None of the options given (5, 2, 44, 125) are correct.
