Question

Help me solve this quickly please and show work!? I’m stuck

Answer 1

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to add the -3x and the -2x together to get -5x

-2x=-5x+12

then you're gonna add -5x to -2x

-2x+5x=12

that should get you

3x=12

divide both sides by 3

3x/3=12/3

that should get you x=4

Answer 2

I believe it is asking for x so I will be finding the value of x.

X = 4, work is shown below:

−2x=−3x+12−2x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2x=−3x+12−2x

−2x=−3x+12+−2x

−2x=(−3x+−2x)+(12)(Combine Like Terms)

−2x=−5x+12

−2x=−5x+12

Step 2: Add 5x to both sides.

−2x+5x=−5x+12+5x

3x=12

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 =1 2/3

x=4
