Question

Solve for x: 12x+5=3x+35

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer would be 3.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying 12x + 5 = 3x + 35

Reorder the terms: 5 + 12x = 3x + 35

Reorder the terms: 5 + 12x = 35 + 3x

Solving 5 + 12x = 35 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation. 5 + 12x + -3x = 35 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 12x + -3x = 9x 5 + 9x = 35 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0 5 + 9x = 35 + 0 5 + 9x = 35

Add '-5' to each side of the equation. 5 + -5 + 9x = 35 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0 0 + 9x = 35 + -5 9x = 35 + -5

Combine like terms: 35 + -5 = 30 9x = 30

Divide each side by '9'. x = 3.333333333

Simplifying x = 3.333333333
