Answer:
B) 102
Explanation:
To find x, we need to simplify and solve the equation (5x+6)=(7x-12):
5x + 6 = 7x - 12 // distribute the 5 and 7
6 + 12 = 7x - 5x // group the x terms and constants
18 = 2x
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 2:
18/2 = x
9 = x
Therefore, x is 9.
To find the solution if x = 9, we can simply substitute 9 for x in the given expressions:
(5x+6) = (5(9) + 6) = 51
(7x-12) = (7(9) - 12) = 51
Therefore, both expressions are equal to 51 when x = 9.
