D?

Answer 5

I know people would usually subtract in problems like these.

18 - 12 = 6

24 - 12 = 24

Answer 6

I don't know if multiplication is correct

Answer 7

WAIT NO IT'S ADDITION

Answer 8

Don't assume. Understand the procedure!

We need to separate constants and x first.

Answer 9

I keep forgetting that's a negiative 12! we need to cancel out the 12

12 + 12 = 0

24+12=36

Answer 10

Right you are!

Answer 11

I just hate how the minus sign isn't next to the 12 qnq

Answer 12

Now all you gotta do is remove the coeff of x.

Answer 13

Even thou the answer is C. Why would I divide in this problem?

Answer 14

To cancel out 18?
