In the expression 2 (x+4) - 12=44, x=24 true or false

This is true. If you solve the equation you get x = 24. First, use the distributive property and multiply 2 by x and 4. Now your equation is 2x + 8 - 12 = 44. Next, you add like terms so - 12 + 8 is - 4. So 2x - 4 = 44 Now you can add 4 to the right and you get 48. So 2x = 48. Lastly, divide by 2 and your answer is x = 24. True.

Its true just substitute 24 into x
