Algebra Help! 2x + 3 = 12x?

Question

I am a little stuck on what to do next

I wasn't sure about bringing the -3 over to the 12x because I wouldn't know how to subtract -3 from 12x.

Hope you can help! thanks!

Answer 1

2x + 3 = 12x

2x - 12 x = -3

-10x = -3

x = 0.3

Thank you.

Answer 2

transpose the 2x on the other side

3 = 12x - 2x

3 = 10x

divide both sides by 10 to get the value of x

so, x = 3/10

Answer 3

It is easier to solve for x if you group all terms with x at the left part of your equation and all whole numbers at the right.

2x + 3 = 12x

2x - 12x = -3

-10x = -3

x = 3/10

Answer 4

2x + 3 = 12x

-2x

3 = 10x

divide 10

3/10 = x

Answer 5

2x + 3 = 12x

2x - 12x = -3

-10x = -3

x = -3/-10

x = 3/10 (0.3)

Answer 6

2x+3=12x  | :2

x+3/2=6 => x=6-1,5 => x=4,5

Answer 7

2x + 3 = 12x

2x - 12x = -3

-10x = -3

x = 3/10

Answer 8

0.3

Answer 9

            2x + 3= 12x

Take 3 to the RHS

              2x=  12x -3

Note: You cannot subtract 3 from 12x which are unlike terms

Bring together like terms.

               2x -12x=-3

                   -10x=-3

                       x=3/10

Answer 10

Leave the 3 there. I suggest you bring the 2x over instead (subtracting 2x from both sides). This way, you can procede to collect like terms and solve for x:

2x + 3 = 12x

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

Group the 12x and 2x together:

3 = 10x

Divide both sides by 10 to get x by itself:

x = 3/10

Answer 11

To do algebra equation, you need to group all the xyz in one side & the other digit on the other side.

Answer 12

Here's the answer:

2x + 3 = 12x

2x - 12x = -3

-10x = -3

x = -3/-10

x = 3/10 or 0.3

Answer 13

2x+3 = 12x

Okay, the first thing you need to do is get all the unknowns (x) on the same side of the equation.  Since you have an equals sign, you can write the equation the other way or

12x = 2x +3

Next step, subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.  Remember that if you do the same thing to both sides, nothing changes.\

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

10x = 3

Divide both sides of the equation by ten and you get the answer.  

x = 0.3   Good  luck this year!

Answer 14

Get letters on one side and numbers on other side.

3 = 12x - 2x

3 = 10x

3/10 = x

Answer 15

2x+3=12x

2x+3-2x=12x-2x ----->2x transfer left to right

3=10x

so,

x=3/10

x=0.3

Answer 16

transfer 2x to RHS(right hand side)

then the sign of 2x i.e +ve gets changed into -ve.

so,3=12x-2x

3=10x

Transfer 10 to LHS(left hand side)

since 10 is multiplied with x,it gets divided by 3 on LHS.

3/10=x

x=0.3

Hope it helps :))
