Question

11x - 12 = 16 + 12x What’s the answer lol

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = - 28$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Subtract 11x from both sides.

$- 12 = 16 + 12x - 11x$

2) Simplify 16 + 12x - 11x to 16 + x.

$- 12 = 16 + x$

3) Subtract 16 from both sides.

$- 12 - 16 = x$

4) Simplify -12 -16 to -28.

$- 28 = x$

5) Switch sides.

$x = - 28$

so, therefor, the answer is x = -28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

11x - 12 = 16 + 12x

Step 2: Solve for x

1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate x terms:                                       -12 = 16 + x
2. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate x:                                                  -28 = x
3. Rewrite:                                                                                                            x = -28
