you can solve for x by isolating the variable. what do you think you can do to the 12 to get move it from one side of the equation to the other?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i say isolate the variable i mean that to solve for x, you want to get x by itself.. thus, isolating it

OpenStudy (anonymous):
