Answer 11

yes, what Misty said.

Answer 12

sorry did my math wrong :/

Answer 13

misty is correct

Answer 14

c:

Answer 15

2+16x-12

-2 -2
-----------

16x-14 @misty1212

Answer 16

You don't subtract, because the 2 isn't over an = sign.

Answer 17

You only change the sign if it's on the opposite side of an = sign.
Such as:
4x -2 = 6
+2 +2
4x = 8
Divide by 4
x=2

Answer 18

so yes, misty is right.

Answer 19

Hope this helps. ^-^

Answer 20

She means 4x -10 though, i think.

Answer 21

I think @misty1212 had the equation wrong she had it at 2+4(x−3)
2+4x−12
2x−10

Answer 22

Oh yes, you're right. Hold on.

Answer 23

So 16x -10..

Answer 24

@xFrenchFryx isn't -12-2 = -14? so 16x-14?

Answer 25

Where is the -2 though?

Answer 26

It's just a 2.

Answer 27

So it's -12 + 2

Answer 28

why + 2?

here is my solution
2+16x-12

-2 -2
-----------

16x-14 @xFrenchFryx

Answer 29

I do have to go though, so I hope you get the answer. ;3

Answer 30

I explained that you don't change the 2 to a negative unless it's on the opposite side of an = sign.

Answer 31

Have a good day ^-^
