5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. 12x - 15 - 12x = 7x + 20

step 2. 12x - 12x - 15 = 7x + 20 (grouping of terms)

step 3. -15 = 7x + 20 (adding like terms)

step 4. -35 = 7x (subtract 20 from both sides)

step 5. this step is incorrect.

step 6. -5 = x ( divide both sides by 7)

step 7. x = -5 (put the variable first).

What does it mean to eliminate a variable?

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The elimination method for solving systems of linear equations uses the addition property of equality. You can add the same value to each side of an equation.

So if you have a system: x – 6 = −6 and x + y = 8, you can add x + y to the left side of the first equation and add 8 to the right side of the equation. And since x + y = 8, you are adding the same value to each side of the first equation.
