x-12+2=68

dude:

Can't tell if this is an actual question but are there exponents (or other notation)?

282006:

this is an actual question

Shadow:

\[x - 12 + 2 = 68\] Is this the question?

282006:

yes

Shadow:

That's your cue dude

Shadow:

It seems he is busy. You would do order of operations first, so just do negative 12 plus 2 which is negative 10. \[x - 10 = 68\] Next you need to isolate x and in order to do that, you need to get rid of -10. You can accomplish this by adding 10 to both sides. \[x = 78\]
