12. Alexa solves an equation using the steps below as her first three steps. Step 1: 3(x - 4) = x + 8 Step 2: 3x - 12 = x + 8 Step 3: 2x – 12 = 8 Which operation did Alexa use on both sides of the equation to go from Step 2 to Step 3? A subtracted 8 B subtracted x C added 2x D added 12

B. Subtracted x

Step-by-step explanation:

b) She subtracted x from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: 3(x - 4) = x + 8

Step 2: 3x - 12 = x + 8

Step 3: 2x – 12 = 8

3(x - 4) = x + 8

3x - 12 = x + 8

- x        - x (here, she subtracted x from both sides)

2x - 12 = 8

Hope this helps!

i think the correct option is the second option.

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
