Do you know how to do that?
OpenStudy (blondie_b23):
OpenStudy (blondie_b23):
It's basically when you multiply the exterior number to both numbers in the parenthesis.
OpenStudy (blondie_b23):
Do you see what I did?
OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

You are left with 1.2x=12
Simply divide both sides by 1.2 and you have your answer.
OpenStudy (blondie_b23):
You get 10.
OpenStudy (blondie_b23):
To check, just replace x with 10 in the original equation.
OpenStudy (blondie_b23):
So, we know that the answer is 10 :)
