Question

1) 5x + 12 = -33 whats the answer to this ?? please help

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=-9$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x+12=-33$

Subtract 12 from both sides. The left side cancels:

$(5x+12)-12=(-33)-12\\5x=-45$

Divide both sides by 5. The left side cancels:

$(5x)/5=(-45)/5\\x=-9$

The value of x is -9.
