Question

12(x-2)+3x=13(x+12)+10x
What is x? Can you explain how? Im very confused

Answer 1

Answer: x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP

1

:

Isolate the square root on the left hand side

    Radical already isolated

    √3x+13 = x-5

Eliminate the radical on the left hand side

    Raise both sides to the second power

    (√3x+13)2 = (x-5)2

    After squaring

    3x+13 = x2-10x+25

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

12(x-2)+3x=13(x+12)+10x

=》12x - 24 + 3x = 13x + 156 + 10x

=》12x + 3x - 13x - 10x = 156 + 24

=》- 8x = 180

=》 x = 180/8

=》 X= 90
