Question

2x-8-3x=x-12 then x=?​

Answer 1

2x - 8 - 3x = x - 12

___________ [GIVEN EQUATION]

• We have to find the value of x.

______________________________

2x - 8 - 3x = x - 12

$\implies$ 2x - 3x - x = - 12 + 8

$\implies$ 2x - 4x = - 4

$\implies$ - 2x = - 4

$\implies$ 2x = 4

$\implies$ x = 2

_____________________________

$\bold{x\:=\:2}$

__________ $\bold{[ANSWER]}$

_____________________________

✡ 2x - 8 - 3x = x - 12

From above calculations we have x = 2

Put value of x in above equation.

$\implies$ 2(2) - 8 - 3(2) = 2 - 12

$\implies$ 4 - 8 - 6 = - 10

$\implies$ - 10 = - 10

_________ [HENCE VERIFIED]

Answer 2

2x - 8 - 3x = x - 12

2x - 3x - x = - 12 + 8

2x - 4x = - 4

- 2x = - 4

2x = 4

• x = 2
