Solve the equation 12x-14=4x+10

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

12x-14=4x+10

Subtract 4x from each side

12x-4x-14=4x-4x+10

8x - 14 = 10

Add 14 to each side

8x - 14+14 = 10+14

8x = 24

Divide each side by 8

8x/8 = 24/8

x = 3

Answer: x = 3

Explanation: This problem can be done either of two ways.

By putting the variables together on the left and

the numbers together on the right or vice versa.

If we put our variables together on the left and our

numbers together on the right, we would start by

subtracting 4x from both sides to get 8x - 14 = 10.

Next, we add 14 to both sides to get 8x = 24.

Finally, we divide both sides by 3 to get x = 3.
