[tex]2x+12=14[/tex]

When solving equations such as these, we want to isolate the variable, x, on one side of the equation.

To start off, let's subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.

[tex]2x+12 \boxed{-12} =14 \boxed{-12}[/tex]
[tex]2x=2[/tex]

Now, divide both sides by 2.

[tex]2x \boxed{ \div 2} = 2 \boxed{\div 2}[/tex]
[tex]x=1[/tex]

The final solution to this equation is x=1. Hope this helps! :)
