of the buttons
Freida bought a box of old buttons at a yard sale. In the box, of the buttons were black, and
were white. The rest of the buttons were brown.
if Joe already added 2 + . what should he do next in order to determine what fraction of the
buttons are brown?

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

=

10

2

x=5

step-by-step explanation:

12

step-by-step explanation:

12 + 5 = 17

12x2=24

24-7=17
