Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 12-2 = x+20-8 The problem
First combine like terms
12-2 = 10 20-8=12
Now you have 2x + 10 = x + 12 the new problem!
Next, subtract x from the right and from the left.
You now have x + 10 = 12
Now subtract ten from both sides to get X all by itself
Then you have X = 2 Yippie!
Hope this helps!
