4x-12=20 help and show me the steps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The goal is to isolate x. So first add 12 on both sides. Then divide by 4 on both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both sides? like add 12 to 20 and add 12 to 12 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 4x=32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. Add 12 on the left side to 20. Then divide 4 by 32.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, then once you divide 4 by 32, it gets your x by itself and wtv. 4 by 32 is, it's your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
