Answer 1

Hello!

Answer: x=-24 *The answer must have negative sign*

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you had to do is subtract by 7 from both sides of an equation.

`7-(x)/(12)-7=9-7`

Simplify by equation form.

`-(x)/(12)=2`

Then, you multiply by 12 from both sides of an equation.

`12(-(x)/(12))=2*12`

Simplify, and then multiply by the numbers.

`2*12=24`

`-x=24`

Next, divide by -1 from both sides of an equation.

`(-x)/(-1)= (24)/(-1)`

And finally simplify.

`24/1=24`

It change positive to negative sign.

`x=-24`

Hope this helps!

Thank you!

Have a great day!
