[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To solve the equation 2x + 12 = 18 – x, follow these steps:

1. Combine like terms:
2x + x = 18 - 12

Simplify:
3x = 6

2. Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x:
(3x)/3 = 6/3

Simplify:
x = 2

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 2.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To solve the equation 2x + 12 = 18 - x, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

First, we can combine like terms by adding x to both sides of the equation:

2x + x + 12 = 18 - x + x

This simplifies to:

3x + 12 = 18

Next, we can isolate the x term by subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation:

3x + 12 - 12 = 18 - 12

This simplifies to:

3x = 6

Lastly, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:

3x/3 = 6/3

This simplifies to:

x = 2

Therefore, the solution to the equation 2x + 12 = 18 - x is x = 2.
