Start by combing like terms. You will get 3x+12=51. Now subtract 12 from both sides (3x=39). Divide both sides by 3 (x=13). The answer is 13.

Answer:
-4x
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the interest is simple interest, as opposed to compound interest,
-5.8 - (-8.4)
When we multiply two negatives they become a positive. In this situation, where there is no other number, you can assume there's basically a 1 in that place.
-5.8 - 1(-8.4) would be just as correct. (If this helps visually clarify anything.)
So we take that -1 and multiply it by that -8.4. Multiplying 1 against anything leaves it the same, so we just need to change the sign. Two negatives make a positive.
-5.8 + 8.4
Now we add these together.
This gives us our final answer of 2.6
