Question

Help! Lots of points! 6-11x=7x-12 solve and explain please!

Answer 1

    In order to solve this equation that has variables on both sides, you should try to move either one constant term to the other side or one term with a variable to the other side first. Let's add -11x to both sides of the equation (we are carrying out the addition property of equality). Now, you should move a term from the side with more terms to the other side. Let's add 12 to both sides of the equation, so -12+12 will cancel out and equal 0, while 6+12 will equal 18. Finally, divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable, which is 18. This allows us to isolate the variable. Now, you should have your answer, which is 18/18 (you simplify this :) ) .

Answer 2

$6-11x=7x-12\\\\18x=18\\\\x=1$
