Please help!

Does the equation x+7=12 have the same answer as 2x+14=24? Do you think there is a way to tell without solving each equation? Explain.

Answer 1

yes x is the same in both problems

Explanation:

in the first one you subtract seven from both side to leave you with x=5

in the second problem you subtract 14 (2x=10) from both sides then divide both sides by 2 so you are left with x=5

Answer 2

Answer: yes they both have the same answer.

Step-by-step explanation: 12 - 7 equals 4 and 28/7 equals 4
