Question

If 5 times + 2=12 then x=?

Answer 1

I saw an answer for this one and saw it was incorrect

Explanation:

5x + 2 = 12

5x = 12 - 2 ( moved the constant to the right )

5x = 10 ( both sided needed to be divided by 5 )

x = 2

Answer 2

if 5x+2=12 then x=5

Explanation:

5x+2=12

5x=10

10/2

x=5
