Question

12x-4=17x+8 please help me

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

12x -4 = 17x +8

-12x        -12x

That's to get all the x-values on one side so we can solve for x.

-4 = 5x +8

-8          -8

-12 = 5x

But now we need to find what 1 x value is equal to so we divide,

-12/5 and 5x/5 to get -2.4 = x

Hope that helps and have a great day!
