Question

Solve 2x + 5 = 12
please help !

Answer 1

The correct answer is x=3.5

Answer 2

Answer: x = 3.5

Explanation:

We can start by subtracting 5 from both sides:

2x - 5 = 12 - 5 Which will come out to: 2x = 7

Then we divide both sides by 2 so that we can isolate the variable:

2x/2 = 7/2 Which will come out to: x = 3.5
