The equation that has a solution of -12 is x + 12 = -1.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To determine which of the given equations has a solution of -12, we can substitute -12 for the variable in each equation and find the equation that results in a true statement.

Let's check each equation:

1) x + 12 = -1

Substituting -12 for x:

-12 + 12 = -1

0 = -1

This is not true, so the equation x + 12 = -1 does not have a solution of -12.

2) x + 1/2 = -1

Substituting -12 for x:

-12 + 1/2 = -1

-24/2 + 1/2 = -1

-23/2 ≠ -1

This is not true, so the equation x + 1/2 = -1 does not have a solution of -12.

3) x - 1 = -12

Substituting -12 for x:

-12 - 1 = -12

-13 = -12

This is not true, so the equation x - 1 = -12 does not have a solution of -12.

4) x + 1 = 12

Substituting -12 for x:

-12 + 1 = 12

-11 = 12

This is not true, so the equation x + 1 = 12 does not have a solution of -12.

5) x - 12 = 1

Substituting -12 for x:

-12 - 12 = 1

-24 ≠ 1

This is not true, so the equation x - 12 = 1 does not have a solution of -12.

Therefore, none of the given equations have a solution of -12.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To determine which equation has a solution of -12, we need to check each equation and see if substituting -12 for x results in a true statement.

Let's evaluate each equation one by one:

1) x + 12 = -1
To check if -12 is a solution, we substitute x with -12:
-12 + 12 = -1
0 = -1 (False)

2) x + 1/2 = -1
Substituting x = -12:
-12 + 1/2 = -1
-23.5 = -1 (False)

3) x - 1 = -12
Substituting x = -12:
-12 - 1 = -12
-13 = -12 (False)

4) x + 1 = 12
Substituting x = -12:
-12 + 1 = 12
-11 = 12 (False)

5) x - 12 = 1
Substituting x = -12:
-12 - 12 = 1
-24 = 1 (False)

From the analysis above, none of the given equations have a solution of -12.
