Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Because of its shape I would imagine another flipped so it makes a square then solve for the square the divide.
7 x 12 =84
84÷2=42
Well my answer i dont know if right or not but if me my answer will be ( Neither )
The answer is x=-6.33333 (-19/3)
First, add like terms (12+7), which would equal to 19.
Then isolate the variable by subtracting 19 and adding it to the other side of the equal sign.
Now with this new equation of 3x=-19, isolate again by dividing 3 from x and do the same thing to the other side (-19/3).
The answer should be -6.33 repeating, but in algebra you would give a more simplified answer. This would be -19/3
