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).
The answer is 15,000,000,000,000
Answer:
x = 4, -6
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 4, -6
Let's split it up to make it a little easier.
There's 50 minutes plus another 5 minutes that needs to be added to 11:55
Now, if we add the 5 minutes to 11:55, it becomes 12:00
And we simply have to add the other 50 minutes to 12:00, making it
12:50
So, 55 minutes later than 11:55 is 12:50
