Solve the equation. 12x – 14 = –2

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS =

Parenthesis

Subtraction

First, add 14 to both sides:

12x - 14 = -2

12x - 14 (+14) = -2 (+14)

12x = -2 + 14

12x = 12

Next, divide 12 from both sides:

(12x)/12 = (12)/12

x = 12/12

x = 1

x = 1 is your answer.

ad = ae + ed = y + 7

similar triangles therefor

ac/ab = ad/ae

6/4 = (y + 7) / y

cross multiply

6y = 4(y + 7)

6y = 4y + 28

2y = 28

y = 14
