Question

2) Check to see if x = 2 is the solution to this equation Explain your

reasoning with words and work. Be clear and completel
- 4x - 12 = 2x -8

Answer 1

x=2 is not the answer because when substituting 2 for x in both problems the answers are different.
-4(2)-12=-20
2(2)-8=-4
-20 does nothing equal to -4 which means x=2 is invalid
