Question

solve the following equation and check the result : 4(x-2)=12​

Answer 1

Answer:

4(x-2) =12

4x-8=12

4x=12+8

4x=20

x=5

VERIFICATION

Putting the value of x in the equation

4(x-2)=12

4(5-2 )=12

20-8=12

12=12

since

LHS=RHS

verified

hope it help

Answer 2

Answer:

=>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$4(x-2)=12$

As we have to find the value of the equation and also verify that the value of the x satisfies the equation or not,

We have,

=> $4(x-2)=12$

First of all, distribute the terms:

=> $4x-8=12$

Now add both sides by $8$,

=> $4x-8+8=12+8$

Simplifying it further,

=> $4x = 12+8$

Add the number,

=> $4x = 20$

Divide both sides by $4$,

=> $x = 5$

Checking:-

Plug the value of x as 5,

=> $4(x-2)=12$

=> $4 ( 5 - 2 ) = 12$

=> $4 ( 3 ) = 12$

=> 12 = 12

LHS = RHS
