2x + 4X = 12
X = ?
Thank you.
2x + 4X = 12
6x = 12
Divide both sides of the equation by 6.
Is it X = 3?
Thank you for answering my question.
No, x is not 3.
If you were to put 3 as x in the equation, this would be what it looks like.
2(3)+ 4(3)=12
Obviously, you can tell that when everything is solved it does not equal 3 as x.
2 times 3 equals 6, and 4 times 3 equals 12.
6 + 12 = 12
18 = 12
So, 3 is not the value of x.
What is 12 divided by 6?
I am not smart at all.
What is x?
Thank you very much.
Is 2 correct answer?
Yes 2 is the correct answer, when you put 2 in the equation, it checks out.
2(2) + 4(2) = 12
2 times 2 equals 4, and 4 times 2 equals 8.
4 + 8 = 12
12 = 12
So, yes 2 is again the correct answer.
