Question

how would I solve 8x-12=4x+24

Answer 1

first, add -4x to both sides. (write -4x on both sides)
then simplify. what do you get ?

Answer 2

wait 12-12 and 24-12 then I minus 8x -4x
12x=12

Answer 3

First subtract both sides by 4x:
4x - 12 = 24
Then add 12 to both sides:
4x = 36
Divide by 4:
x = 8

Answer 4

can you do it in short steps? something went wrong.
8x-12=4x+24
add -4x

Answer 5

x=3

Answer 6

8x-12=4x+24
X on one side so minus 4x from both sides
4x-12=24
Then add 12 to both sides
4x=36
Divide both side by 4
x=9

Answer 7

8x-12=4x+24
write -4x on both sides, like this
8x-4x -12=4x-4x+24
simplify
