Question

-12(x - 12) =-9(1 + 7x)

Answer 1

The answer is x= -3 yw

Answer 2

Answer: x = -3

Explanation:

Let’s use the distributive property

-12(x-12) = -9(1+7x)

-12x+144= -9-63x

Then let’s get all the numbers and variables on each side

51x= -153

Next let’s divide each side by 51

X=-3

Finally let’s check our answer by substituting ‘x’ for -3

-12(-3 -12)= -9(1 +7(-3))

36+144= -9 + 189

180 = 180

So ‘x = -3’ is the correct answer
