Answer 6

Well yeah that's where I got stuck because i can't work it out so what would I have to put on the paper

Answer 7

hmm, from what you are implying might I ask what the original question was?

You could say x is the variable that is multiplied by 12 after distributing the 4 :

12x + 20

Answer 12

Answer 13

>8(

Answer 14

If that's what you meant

Answer 15

That is EXACTLY what we mean!!!

see, that was what I was asking before xD
so 12x + 20 = 28
subtract 20 from both sides
divide both sides by 12

Answer 17

Sorry

Answer 18

I don't get ya

Answer 19

12x + 20 = 28 subtract 20 from both sides
-20 -20
12x = 8 divide both sides by 12
/12 /12
x = 8/12 then simplify

Answer 20

$$\Huge 4(3x+5)=28$$
