Question

-12x + 18 – 10x – 5 = -31

Answer 1

Answer:

Your answer is x = 2

Step-by-step explanation: $-12x + 18-10x-5 = -31$

subtract 18 - 5 = 13 and add -12x+(-10x)= -22x

$-22x+13=-31$ subtract 13 on both sides

$-22x+13(-13)=-31(-13)$  cross out +13(-13) and -31-13= -44

$-22x=-44$ divide -22 on both sides

$\frac{-22x}{-22} = \frac{-44}{-22}$ cross -22x/-22 and divide -44 and -22= 2

$x = 2$  

Answer 2
