Answer:

$7,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] equal the original price.

[tex]12,000+2000=2x[/tex]

Combine like terms.

[tex]14,000=2x[/tex]

Divide by the coefficient of [tex]x[/tex], which in this case is [tex]2.[/tex]

[tex]7,000=x[/tex]

If you like the variable on the left, rewrite:

[tex]x=7,000[/tex]
