2,640,000. Because the 4 is in the ten thousands place and should be rounded up
7x + 12 = 3(5x - 12)
Step 1: Distribute the 3 to the numbers in the parentheses (5x and -12)
7x + 12 = (3 × 5x) + (3 × (-12))
7x + 12 = 15x + (-36)
Step 2: Combine like terms
x's go with x's (7x and 15x)
Subtract 7x to both sides
(7x - 7x) + 12 = (15x - 7x) + (-36)
(0) + 12 = 8x - 36
12 = 8x - 36
Normal numbers go with normal numbers
Add 36 to both sides
12 + 36 = 8x + (-36 + 36)
48 = 8x
Step 3: Isolate x by dividing 8 to both sides
48/8 = 8x/8
6 = x
Hope this helped!
The first one because if you add all the positives you get 4 and then if you add all the negatives you get 7 so then you do 4+(-7)= -3
