X + 5 + 11x = 12x + y
Simplify: 12x + 5 = 12x + y (We are adding x and 11x on the left side)
Subtract 12x from each side makes each zero.
5 = y
So we can plug in and test. I'm picking two random numbers to plug in for x. 10, and 82
x = 10, y = 5
10 + 5 + 11(10) = 12(10) + 5
125 = 125
x = 82, y = 5
82 + 5 + 11(82) = 12(82) + 5
989 = 989
So we verified y = 5
Your answer is b so there you go have a great day!!!!
Step-by-step explanation:

- In the line 2, only variables were operated with a reduction of similar terms in each side of the equation, giving as result -4x at one side, and 2x at the other side.
- In the line 3, terms with variables were joined together in one side of the equation, and then, they were operate it, given as result -6X.
14.4, 120% of 12 is 100+20, 12+2.4 is 14.4
