Solve 4(x+12)=2

$$4 ( x + 12 ) = 2$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{23}{2} = -11\frac{1}{2} = -11.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 4.

$$x+12=\frac{2}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x+12=\frac{1}{2}$$

Subtract 12 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}-12$$

Convert 12 to fraction \frac{24}{2}.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{24}{2}$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{24}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{1-24}{2}$$

Subtract 24 from 1 to get -23.

$$x=-\frac{23}{2}$$
