3x-(x-8)=12 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
3*x-(x-8) = 12
Expand brackets in the left part
3*x-x+8 = 12
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
8 + 2*x = 12
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = 4$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 2
x = 4 / (2)
We get the answer: x = 2
