Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there! :)

4x + 5x + 12 = 6(x - 2)
Combine like terms and distribute the coefficient outside of the parenthesis:
9x + 12 = 6(x) + 6(-2)
9x + 12 = 6x - 12
Subtract 6x from both sides:
9x - 6x + 12 = 6x - 6x - 12
3x + 12 = -12
Subtract 12 from both sides:
3x + 12 - 12 = -12 - 12
3x = -24
Divide both sides by 3:
3x/3 = -24/3
x = -8.
Answer:
c) 2 + 3 = 5 TRUE
d) 2 + (–3) = -1 True
Step-by-step explanation:
When adding integers (positive and negative whole numbers), there are three cases:
- Positive and positive increases and sum is positive. Ex. 4 + 6 = 10
- Positive and negative where you subtract and take the sign of the larger number. Ex. 3 + -8 = -5 or -3 + 8 = 5
- Negative and negative decrease and the sum if negative. Ex. -4 + -6 = -10.
Use these rules to simplify each expression.
a) 2 + (–3) = -1 not 1 FALSE
b) –3 + 2 = -1 not 5 FALSE
c) 2 + 3 = 5 TRUE
d) 2 + (–3) = -1 True
Do you have any options to pick from

Step-by-step explanation:
We can let the 'number' in the expression be equal to
. Something 6 less than x would x minus 6, or
.
