Hello there!
7x + 2 + 6x + 9 = 12x + 5
13x + 11 = 12x + 5
13x - 12x = 5 - 11
x = -6
As always, it is my pleasure helping students like you. Please let me know if you have any questions about the answer. Thanks!
Your supposed to add the like terms and 7x and 6x are like terms so you add those and get 13x and 9 and 2 are like terms and when you add them you get 11 and the answer of the first part of the equation is 13x + 11
