Answer:

12x − 2

Step-by-step explanation:

7(x+4)+5(x−6)

Distribute:

=(7)(x) + (7)(4) + (5)(x) + (5)(−6)

=7x + 28 + 5x − 30

Combine Like Terms:

=7x + 28 + 5x − 30

=(7x+5x) + (28−30)

= 12x − 2

Hello russell6333!

$\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}$

Solve for x.

144 = 12x
45 = 4x - 27
2x - 2 = 14
12x = 44 - 10x

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

$1) \: \: \: 144 = 12x \\ \frac{144}{12} = x \\ \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf12 = x}}$

__________________

$2) \: \: \: 45 = 4x - 27 \\ 45 + 27 = 4x \\ 72 = 4x \\ \frac{72}{4} = x \\ \boxed{ \boxed { \bf18 = x }}$

__________________

$3) \: \: \: 2x - 2 = 14 \\ 2x = 14 - 2 \\ 2x = 12 \\ x = \frac{12}{2} \\ \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf \: x = 6}}$

__________________

$4) \: \: \: 12x = 44 - 10x \\ 12x + 10x = 44 \\ 22x = 44 \\ x = \frac{44}{22} \\ \boxed{\boxed{ \bf \: x = 2}}$

__________________

To solve questions of these sorts, bring all the terms to one side & simplify it leaving x alone in the other side of the equation (other side of the equal to sign). After simplification you'll get the value of x.
Remember that the signs & operations will change when you bring a term to the other side of the equation.
So, addition will become subtraction, subtraction will become addition, multiplication will become division & division will become multiplication.
