explain why x+8=12 and 12-x=8 have the same solution ?

Sagot :

[tex]x+8=12\ \ \ \ |subtract\ "x"\ from\ both\ sides\\\\8=12-x\Rightarrow 12-x=8\\\\ Those\ equations\ are\ equivalent\ (They\ have\ the\ same\ solution\ x=4)[/tex]
because the equations are equivalent, either way you solve them, you will have the same outcome
