Since there is two negative signs in the original equation, you need two negative signs in the equivalent one as well.
Because one of the negatives if before the fraction, it doesn't matter if the second negative is on the 13 or on the 12.
The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Solving linear equation with one variable:</h3>
1) -4 + 3x = 4x - 8
Add 4 to both sides
-4 + 3x + 4 = 4x - 8 + 4
3x = 4x - 4
Subtract 4x from both sides,
3x - 4x = -4x + 4x - 4
-x = -4

2) -5x - 8 = 2
Add 8 to both sides
-5x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8
-5x = 10
Divide both sides by (-5)


3) 12r - 14 = 5(2-r)
12r - 14 = 5*2 - 5*r
12r - 14 = 10 - 5r
Add 14 to both sides
12r - 14 + 14 = 10 - 5r + 14
12r = 24 - 5r
Add 5r to both sides
12r + 5r = 24
17r = 24
Divide both sides by 17
r = 24/17
4) 3x - 8 = -(17 + 2x)
3x - 8 = -17 - 2x
Add 8 to both sides
3x - 8 + 8 = -17 - 2x + 8
3x = -9 - 2x
Add 2x to both sides
3x + 2x = -9
5x = -9
Divide both sides by 5

Answer:
x = -1/2 and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for <em>x</em>: Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero.
Using the quadratic formula: Solve the equation for x by finding a, b, and c of the quadratic then applying the quadratic formula.
