Question

Solve for x 18-(2x-12)=8x

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$18 - (2x - 12) = 8x \\ 18 - 2x + 12 = 8x$

$- 2x + 30 = 8x \\ - 2x - 8x = - 30$

$- 10x = - 30 \\ x = \frac{ - 30}{ - 10}$

$x = 3$

Answer 2

Answer:

18−(2x−12)=8x

18−2x+12=8x

\begin{lgathered}- 2x + 30 = 8x \\ - 2x - 8x = - 30\end{lgathered}

−2x+30=8x

−2x−8x=−30

\begin{lgathered}- 10x = - 30 \\ x = \frac{ - 30}{ - 10}\end{lgathered}

−10x=−30

x=

−10

−30

x = 3x=3
