Solve 88+88/2-78+70+x/2=12

$$\frac{ 88+88 }{ 2 } - \frac{ 78+70+x }{ 2 } = 12$$

Solve for x

$$x=4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

$$88+88-\left(78+70+x\right)=24$$

Add 88 and 88 to get 176.

$$176-\left(78+70+x\right)=24$$

Add 78 and 70 to get 148.

$$176-\left(148+x\right)=24$$

To find the opposite of 148+x, find the opposite of each term.

$$176-148-x=24$$

Subtract 148 from 176 to get 28.

$$28-x=24$$

Subtract 28 from both sides.

$$-x=24-28$$

Subtract 28 from 24 to get -4.

$$-x=-4$$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$x=4$$
