Answer: x = 3


Step-by-step explanation:Simplifying

12 + 5x = 18 + 3x

Solving

12 + 5x = 18 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

12 + 5x + -3x = 18 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x

12 + 2x = 18 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

12 + 2x = 18 + 0

12 + 2x = 18

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.

12 + -12 + 2x = 18 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0

0 + 2x = 18 + -12

2x = 18 + -12

Combine like terms: 18 + -12 = 6

2x = 6

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 3

Simplifying

x = 3

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get your variables and constants separated on either side of the =

Whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other.

12 + 5x = 18 + 3x

subtract 3x from both sides to cancel out the 3x on the right:

12 + 5x - 3x = 18 + 3x - 3x    

12 + 2x = 18

subtract 12 from both sides to cancel out the 12 on the left side:

12 - 12 + 2x = 18 - 12    

now just solve for x

2x = 6

divide both sides by 2 to cancel out the 2 on the left side:

2x / 2 = 6 / 2

x = 3

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

x=(-2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

(9x+13)^2=49

√(9x+13)^2=√49

9x+13=7

9x+13-13=7-13

9x=-6

9x÷9=-6/9

x=-6/9

-6/9=-2/3

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

?

Step-by-step explanation:

By difference I think you mean how far away from? I don't really know what you mean by this but I will try to help.

1/2-4=-3 1/2

2-(-3 1/2)=5 1/2

<u>-3 1/2</u>

5 1/2

Above is a fraction.

I hope that I helped. Sorry if it wasn't the answer you were looking for.

Arkadaşlar soruyu bulabilirmisiniz 28=50-4n​
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The answer is 8 because 28=50- 4n we have to group like terms so 28- 50= -4n therefore 28-50 will be -32 = -4n therefore we have to divide both side by the coefficient of n that is -4 and minus 4 goes to itself 1 and to - 32 8 because the minus sign will cancel the minus
