Question

- 1 2 (x + 5) = -10 I need helpppppp

Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you mean -12(x+5)=-10?

Divide both sides by -12 -> x+5=10/12

Subtract 5 on both sides -> x=10/12-5 -> x=-4 1/6

So x=-4 1/6

Let me know if this wasn't the right equation

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-35/6

x=-25/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Rearrange this Absolute Value Equation

Absolute value equality entered:

     -12|x+5| = -10

To make the absolute value term positive, both sides are multiplied by (-1).

     12|x+5| = 10

Step  2  :

Clear the Absolute Value Bars

Split the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.

The Absolute Value term is 12|x+5|. For the Negative case we'll use -12(x+5). For the Positive case we'll use 12(x+5)

Step  3  :

Solve the Negative Case

     -12(x+5) = 10

    Multiply

     -12x-60 = 10

    Rearrange and Add up

     -12x = 70

    Divide both sides by 12

     -x = (35/6)

    Multiply both sides by (-1)

     x = -(35/6)

   

Step  4  :

Solve the Positive Case

     12(x+5) = 10

    Multiply

     12x+60 = 10

    Rearrange and Add up

     12x = -50

    Divide both sides by 12

     x = -(25/6)
