apoorvk · Answer

it is Yes!! oops.. simplifying the equation will give you x+23. so... its right.. innit?

anonymous · Answer

i got 4(x + 2)=12 and 3(x - 5)=12 then add it up and got 24

phi · Answer

you can not ignore the x. x's are very important.  You have to keep track of the x's  and the numbers separately...    If you have  1x and a 2  and you get another x and a 1 then you have 2x +1+2  or 2x+3

apoorvk · Answer

those are two different things.. here you are adding up 2 'equations'.. up there you are simplifying an 'expression'!!
