If 2(x + 5) – (3x – 4) = 12, what is the value of x?

Distribute: 2x + 10 - 3x + 4 = 12

Combine like-terms: -x + 14 = 12

Subtract 14 from both sides: -x = -2

Switch signs: x = 2

The value of x will equal 2 I believe sorry if I'm wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

all it means is function 3

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
