Multiply the first bracket by -2
Multiply the second bracket by 2
x-3-12+4x= 4x-10
- negative number times + positive number= - negative number
- negative number times -negative number = + positive number
x+ 4x-3-12= 4x-10
5x-15= 4x-10
Move 4x to the other side
5x-4x-15= 4x-4x-10
x-15= -10
Move -15 to the other side
x-15+15= -10+15
x= 5
Answer : x= 5
Answer:
It's A.
Step-by-step explanation:
5x2 + 60x = 0
5x is the GCF so:
5x(x + 12 ) = 0
5x = 0, x + 12 = 0
x =0, x = -12.
Answer:
=12
Step-by-step explanation:

Since the numbers are consecutive, they must be near each other in size, and therefore near one-third of 168. And since the lower number is -2 off the middle, and the upper number is +2 from the middle, the middle number must be exactly one-third of 168—otherwise the sum of the three could never be 168. Labelling the three consecutive numbers as x, y, and z:
x + y + z = 168
(y-2) + y + (y+2) = 168.
3y = 168
y = 56
therefore the smallest number (x) = 54.
