Step 4: Get the x by itself by using the inverse operation Response area
-13x=-4x
9x=-18
5-18x=-3x=1
9x-12=6
-12=-11x+6
9x=18
-1x-12=-10x+6
-11x=0
x=2
x=0
x=-2
No solution
Looks like more gobble-de-goup by the bot
5x − 12 − 6x = −10x + 7 − 1
-x - 12 = -10x + 6
9x = 18
x = 2
do anyone know the answer. need help ASAP
gobble-de-goup? LOL thanks tho :D
Step 1: Combine like terms
5x - 12 - 6x = -10x + 7 - 1
Combine like terms on both sides of the equation:
-1x - 12 = -2 + 6
Step 2: Get the x-terms on the same side of the equation
To do this, you need to add or subtract the x-terms on one side of the equation. Let's subtract -1x from both sides of the equation to get the x-terms on the left side:
-1x - 12 + 1x = -2 + 6 - 1x
This simplifies to:
-12 = -2 + 6 - 1x
Step 3: Get the constants on the same side of the equation
To do this, you need to add or subtract the constants on one side of the equation. Let's add 2 and subtract 6 from both sides of the equation to get the constants on the right side:
-12 + 2 = -2 + 6 - 1x - 6
This simplifies to:
-10 = -1x - 6
Step 4: Get the x by itself by using the inverse operation
To get the x by itself, you need to isolate the x-term on one side of the equation. Since the x-term has a -1 coefficient, you can multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to eliminate it:
-1(-10) = -1(-1x - 6)
This simplifies to:
10 = 1x + 6
Now, let's solve for x by isolating the x-term on one side of the equation:
10 - 6 = 1x + 6 - 6
This simplifies to:
4 = 1x
or
x = 4
So, the solution to the equation is x = 4.
