21(2 - x) + 12x = 44
21(2 - x) + 12x = 44 Write the Equation
42-21x+12x=44 Using Distributive Property
42-9x=44 Combine Like Terms
42-9x-42=44-42 Subtract 42 from both sides of the equation
-9x=2 Simplify
9x9=29 Divide both sides of the equation by -9
x=29 Simplify
The Solution is x=29
Check:
21(2-x)+12x=44
21(2+29)+12(29)=44 Substitute x=29
21(209)+12(29)=44 Subtract
140383=44 Multiply
1322=44
44=44
Result:
The solution is x=29
