8x – 12 = 4x + 24

Answer 1

8x - 12 = 4x + 24
-4x          -4x
4x -12 = 24
     +12=+12
4x = 36
/4     /4
x= 9

Answer 2

  step-by-step.  8x−12=4x+24  Step 1: Subtract 4x from both sides.  8x−12−4x=4x+24−4x  4x−12=24  Step 2: Add 12 to both sides.  4x−12+12=24+12  4x=36  Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.‌ 4x/4‌=‌36/4‌  x=9
