A quarterback throws 50 passes in one game.  He throws twice as many passes to the right of the field than he does to the left of the field.  He throws 2 more passes to the center of the field than he did to the left.  How many passes did he throw to the left side of the field?
Let x represent the number of passes thrown to the left side of the field
Right:2x
Center:x+2
Total:x+2x+x+2=50
4x+2=50
4x=48
x=<<12=12>>12 passes
