Question

Solve for x.

​12(x−36)=−12​

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Explanation:

12 (x - 36) = -12

Multiply x by everything in the parentheses

12x - 432 = -12

Then, whatever the sign is in front or behind the number without the variable, do the opposite. For example, the sign is minus so you would add, or if it was add, you would have subtracted. Make sure to do the same thing for both sides of the equal sign as well, so you would cancel the 432 by doing the opposite of the sign but you would also add 432 to the -12.

12x - 432 = -12

+432 (both sides)

12x = 420

Now, divide the number that is next to the variable by itself and the number that is on the other side of the equal sign.

12x/12 = 420/12

x = 35
