Bot GPT 3.5 To solve for x, we need to get all the terms with x on one side of the equation and the constant terms on the other side.
Starting with the given equation: -12x + 20 = -10x + 32
We will start by subtracting -10x from both sides:
-12x + 10x + 20 = -10x + 10x + 32
Simplifying the equation:
-2x + 20 = 32
Next, we need to isolate the term with x. Let's subtract 20 from both sides:
-2x + 20 - 20 = 32 - 20
Simplifying the equation:
-2x = 12
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by -2:
-2x / -2 = 12 / -2
Simplifying the equation:
x = -6
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -6.
