4x + 5x + 12 = 6(x-2) Math

Hi there! :)

\large\boxed{x = -8}

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.
