Solve the following equation. You must show all work to receive full credit. x+12=20

1 answer

To solve the equation x + 12 = 20, we want to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation to get rid of the 12.

x + 12 - 12 = 20 - 12

This simplifies to:

x = 8

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 8.
