Question

What is the answer to this equation? Must solve for x. x+5=12x−4

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 9/11

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5 = 12x - 4

Subtract x from both sides

x + 5 - x = 12x - x - 4

        5   = 11x - 4

Add 4 to both sides

      5+ 4 = 11x - 4 + 4

            9 = 11x

Divide both sides by 11

         9/11 = 11x/11

          9/11 = x

x = 9/11

Answer 2

Answer:

$x - 12x = - 4 - 5 \\ 11x = 9 \\ x = \frac{9}{11}$
