Answer:

x= -20/12 or x= -5/3

Explanation:

put 0 in for y

so you have 12x = -20

then move 12 to the other side

so the answer would be x= -20/12

or x= -5/3

Answer:

x =5/12 y +5/3

Explanation:

12x-5y = -20

Add 5y to each side

12x -5y+5y = 5y-20

12x = 5y-20

Divide by 12

12x/12 =5y/12 +20/12

x =5/12 y +5/3
