Aroom measures 12 feet by 12 feet. a couch is 10 feet and 6 inches long. if you center the couch in the middle of the room, how far will each end of the couch be from the nearest wall?

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=
