Solve 12*(2+x)/12+2+x=4

$$\frac { 12 \cdot ( 2 + x ) } { 12 + 2 + x } = 4$$

Solve for x

$$x=4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to -14 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+14.

$$12\left(2+x\right)=4\left(x+14\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 12 by 2+x.

$$24+12x=4\left(x+14\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+14.

$$24+12x=4x+56$$

Subtract 4x from both sides.

$$24+12x-4x=56$$

Combine 12x and -4x to get 8x.

$$24+8x=56$$

Subtract 24 from both sides.

$$8x=56-24$$

Subtract 24 from 56 to get 32.

$$8x=32$$

Divide both sides by 8.

$$x=\frac{32}{8}$$

Divide 32 by 8 to get 4.

$$x=4$$
