What value of x is in the solution set of 4x - 12 S 16 + 8x?



Sagot :

You gave little context, so here is a few solutions.

POSSIBLE #1:

assuming s is a variable

---> Simplify  [tex]12S[/tex] × [tex]16[/tex] to [tex]192S[/tex]

[tex]4x-192S+8x[/tex]

--->  Collect like terms.

[tex](4x+8x)-192S[/tex]

---> Simplify.

[tex]12x-192S[/tex]

POSSIBLE #2: (assuming s is not relevant)

Simplifying

4x + -12 = 16 + 8x

Reorder the terms:

-12 + 4x = 16 + 8x

Solving

-12 + 4x = 16 + 8x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8x' to each side of the equation.

-12 + 4x + -8x = 16 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 4x + -8x = -4x

-12 + -4x = 16 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0

-12 + -4x = 16 + 0

-12 + -4x = 16

Add '12' to each side of the equation.

-12 + 12 + -4x = 16 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0

0 + -4x = 16 + 12

-4x = 16 + 12

Combine like terms: 16 + 12 = 28

-4x = 28

Divide each side by '-4'.

x = -7

Simplifying

x = -7
