would x be 12? and can someone just help me write out the steps?

Solve and describe the steps used to find x for the equation
2 (x+4 ) – 10 = 36 - 14

Hello there, and thank you for posting your question here on brainly.

Let's see if x = 12 by working it out as in the equation.

2 * (12 + 4) - 10 = 36 - 14

I know we should use pemdas, but I'm going to do the 36 - 14, and then work on the left side.

36 - 14 = 22

Now, let us work on the equation.

2 * (12 + 4) - 10 = 22

Let's do the parenthesis first.

12 + 4 ===> 16

Now we have the equation

2 * 16 - 10 = 22

Multiply 16 by 2.

16 * 2 ===> 32

Almost done, we now have the equation

32 - 10 = 22

Do the subtraction.

32 - 10 ===> 22

22 = 22

Yes, x = 12

Hope this helped!! ☺♥
