Solve the equation 12(-11x + 5) + 7 = 2 (x-9) - 451 algebraically. Answer as a reduced fraction only.

Answer 1

The value of x in the equation is 4.2.

How to calculate the value?

It should be noted that the equation given is:

12(-11x + 5) + 7 = 2 (x-9) - 451

This will be computed thus:

12(-11x + 5) + 7 = 2 (x-9) - 451

-132x + 60 + 7 = 2x - 28 - 451

Collect like terms

-132x - 2x = - 28 - 451 - 60 - 7

-130x = -546

Divide

x = 546/130

x = 4.2

The value of x in the equation is 4.2.
