(2x – 4) = 3x - 12 ?

Question

(2x – 4) = 3x - 12 ?

Answer 1

(2x - 4) = 3x - 12

Step 1: Place like term on the same side of the equation. Careful with the signs!

(2x - 4) = 3x - 12

2x - 4 = 3x - 12

12 - 4 = 3x - 2x

Step 2: Simplify Like terms.

12 - 4 = 3x - 2x

8 = x

x = 8 (<==ANSWER!!)

Hope I helped!

Answer 2

x = 8.

Answer 3

2x - 4 = 3x - 12

Adding 12 -2x to both sides:

8 = x

Answer 4

Hi There!!

I used to Struggle With these Q'z Also!!

But I Found  A Method...

(2x-4)=3x-12

So 3x-2x = 1x....O.k?

And the difference between 12 and 4 is 8(O and btw -4 and -12 are negative (-) numbers so a - No. and a - No. = a + No.).... R u still with me??

So x=8 !! And thats the Answer

Also if you have another one of these q's and there is 2x divide the the number By 2!!

Answer 5

A simple method...

2x-4 = 3x-12

12-4 = 3x - 2x

8 = x

or;

x=8

Ans.8

hope u get it

Answer 6

2x - 4 = 3x - 12

Add -3x to each side of the equation

2x - 3x -4 = +3x - 3x - 12

-1x - 4 = 0 - 12

-1x - 4 = -12

Add 4 to each side of the equation

-1x - 4 + 4 = -12 + 4

-1x -0 = -8

-1x = -8

Divide each side by -1

-1x/-1 = x

-8/-1 = 8

x = 8

Answer 7

yup, he beat me to it. darn!

2x-4 = 3x-12

12-4 = 3x-2x

8     = x

therefore x = 8
