Question

1. x - 12 = 2

a) 20\t\t\t\tb) 14
c) 10\t\t\t\td) 24

Explanation:

Step1: Solve for x

To solve the equation \( x - 12 = 2 \), we add 12 to both sides of the equation.
\( x - 12 + 12 = 2 + 12 \)

Step2: Simplify both sides

Simplifying the left side gives \( x \), and simplifying the right side gives \( 14 \). So \( x = 14 \).

Answer:

b) 14
