2x + 8 = 12
2x = 12 - 8
2x = 4
x = 2
Question becomes is x = 2 ?

(1) 2x + 10 = 14
2x = 14 - 10
2x = 4
x = 2
Sufficient

(2) 3x + 8 = 14
3x = 14 - 8
3x = 6
x = 2
Sufficient

Hence, D.

OA: D

Does $$2x + 8 = 12$$? reduces to Is $$x=2?$$

(1) $$2x + 10 = 14$$
$$2x=14-10$$
$$x = \frac{4}{2}=2$$
Is $$x=2?$$ : yes
Statement $$1$$ alone is sufficient.

(2)$$3x + 8 = 14$$
$$3x = 14 -8$$
$$x =\frac{6}{3} =2$$
Is $$x=2?$$ : yes
Statement $$2$$ alone is sufficient.

Question is basically asking what is x?

From both the option we can derive the value of x.

Hence, option D is the answer.

Solve the question stem to get x=2

And then test both the options.
