Hello!

To solve, we want to isolate the x on one side of the equation. We can use inverse operations to put numbers on the other side to find x.

First we undistribute our parentheses.

12x-66+15=21

We subtract 15 from both sides (it cancels out the 15 on the left side, making it 0).

12x-66=6

Now we add 66 to both sides, as -66+66=0

12x=72

Finally, we divide both sides by 12.

x=6

I hope this helps!

To solve any algebraic equation, we need to get x by itself. The first step to doing that is doing the multiplication (since we can't simplify the parenthesis any further, and because there are no exponents).

Simplifying the parenthesis gives us:

12x - 66 + 15 = 21

Now we want to get all terms with x on one side and all the numbers on the other.

12x = 21 + 66 - 15

12x = 72

Now we want to get x by itself (meaning that we want to get a <em>single</em> x). We can do that by dividing both sides by the number in front of x.

12/12x = 72/12

x = 6

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST What are the like terms in the algebraic expression? Negative a squared b + 6 a b minus 8 + 5 a squared b m
Minchanka [31]

Answer: B

Negative a squared b and 5 a squared b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Negative a squared b + 6 a b minus 8 + 5 a squared b minus 6 a minus b. That is,

- a^2b + 6ab - 8 + 5a^b - 6a - b

Collecting the like term by rearranging the expression

5a^2b - a^2b + 6ab - 6a - b

The like terms in the expression above are

5a^2b - a^2b.

The correct option is B:

Negative a squared b and 5 a squared b or (-a^2b and 5a^b)
