Which is an acceptable first property to solve the equation -2x=12

Answer 1

Hi there! :)

Answer:

x=-6

*The answer must have a negative sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you divide by -2 from both sides of an equation.

Then, you divide by the numbers from left too right.

$12/2=6$

It change positive to negative sign.

Final answer is x=-6
