Question

What is the solution to the equation 2x+4 – 12 = 207

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{215}{2}$ (exact form) or 107.5 (decimal form) or $107\frac{1}{2}$ (mixed number form)

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable to get the answer.

$2x+4-12=207$

Add 12 to both sides to get the equation.

$2x+4=219$

Subtract 4 from both sides to get the equation.

$2x=215$

Divide both sides by two to get the answer.

$x=215/2$

Answer 2

2x+4-12=207
First you need do 4-12 which equals to -8
So now the problem is 2x-8=215
We need to isolate the variable so we do the inverse operation of -8 which is +8
We add 8 to 207 which gives you 215
Now we divide 2 by 215 which is 107.5
The answer is 107.5
