Solve the equation. 12x – 14 = –2

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS =

First, add 14 to both sides:

12x - 14 = -2

12x - 14 (+14) = -2 (+14)

12x = -2 + 14

12x = 12

Next, divide 12 from both sides:

(12x)/12 = (12)/12

x = 12/12

x = 1

x = 1 is your answer.

7. diameter 4 miles, circumference 4π miles

8. radius 0.2 miles, circumference 0.4π miles

[this is a bad problem because the actual radius of a car on the track is less than 0.2 miles so the answer is less than 0.4π miles]

9. radius 6 feet, circumference 12π feet

10. diameter 14 cm, circumference 14π cm

11. diameter 4.8 feet, circumference 4.8π feet
