Question

Solve the equation : 2(x+4)=12​

Answer 1

• As per the data given in the question, we have to find the value of the expression.

              Given data:- $2(x+4)=12.$

              To find:- Value of the expression.

              Solution:-

• Here, we will use the below following steps to find a solution using the transposition method.

• Step 1:- we will Identify the variables and constants in the given simple equation.

• Step2:-Then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.

• Step 3:- Transpose or shift the term on the other side to solve the equation further simplest.

• Step 4:- Simplify the equation using arithmetic operation as required that is mentioned in rule 1 or rule 2 of linear equations.

• Step 5:- Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation. By using the transposition method. we get,

                $2(x+4)=12\\(x+4)=\frac{12}{2}\\x+4=6\\x=6-4\\x=2.$

         Hence we will get the value $x=2.$

Answer 2

The given equation is 2(x+4)=12

We have to solve the equation in order to find the value of 'x'

So, first of all, we will open the bracket and then we will rearrange the equation.

2(x+4)=12

2x + 8 = 12

2x = 12 - 8

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

Therefore, on solving the equation the value of x will be 2.
