Question

12=5x-13x-44. answer it in multi-step equations

Answer 1

Hey there!!

We have:

12 = 5x - 13x - 44

Now, we will have to combine the like terms:

... 12 = - 8x - 44

Now, let's add 44 on both sides:

... 12 + 44 = -8x

... 56 = -8x

Now, let's divide -8 on both sides:

... 56 / -8 = x

... -7 = x

The value of x is -7.

Hope my answer helps!

Happy Thanksgiving! :)

Answer 2

12=5x-13x-44

combine like terms

12 = -8x -44

add 44 to each side

12+44 = -8x

56= -8x

divide by -8 on each side

56/-8 = x

-7 =x
