Answer:

x = - 12 6/7

Explanation:

x - 12x/5= 18

Get a common denominator on the left

5/5 x -12/5x = 18

Subtract

-7/5 x = 18

Multiply each side by -5/7 to isolate x

-5/7 *-7/5 x = -5/7 *18

x = -5*18/7

x = -90/7

Changing this to a mixed number

7 goes into 90 1 2 times with 6 left over

x = - 12 6/7
