Solve 3x - x + 2 = 12. (1 point)

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify. First, combine like terms:

3x - x + 2 = 12

(3x - x) + 2 = 12

(2x) + 2 = 12

2x + 2 = 12

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

& is your order of operation.

First, subtract 2 from both sides:

2x + 2 (-2) = 12 (-2)

2x = 12 - 2

2x = 10

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(2x)/2 = (10)/2

x = 10/2

x = 5

5 is your answer for x.

Check: Plug in 5 for x in the equation. Solve:

3(5) - (5) + 2 = 12

15 - 5 + 2 = 12

10 + 2 = 12

12 = 12 (True)

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Combining like terms, we get 2x = 10.  Dividing both sides by 2 yields

x = 5

rx and sx

step-by-step explanation:

sas (side angle side)

aa(angle angle)

sss(side side side)

sas you have to find two sides with an angle in between

aa you find two angles because it will always add up to 180

sss find all sides
