Answer:
[tex]\huge{\boxed{\sf{10}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2(x - 4 ) = 12[/tex]
Distribute 2 through the parentheses
⇒[tex]2*x - 2*4 = 12\\[/tex]
⇒[tex]2x - 8 = 12\\[/tex]
Move 8 to right hand side and change its sign.
⇒[tex]2x=12+8[/tex]
Add the numbers: 12 and 8
⇒[tex]2x=20[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
⇒[tex]\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{20}{2}[/tex]
⇒[tex]x = 10[/tex]
The value of x is 10.
