Question

11x - 12 = 16 + 12x

What’s the answer lol

Answer 1

`x = - 28`

Explanation:

1) Subtract 11x from both sides.

`- 12 = 16 + 12x - 11x`

2) Simplify 16 + 12x - 11x to 16 + x.

`- 12 = 16 + x`

3) Subtract 16 from both sides.

`- 12 - 16 = x`

4) Simplify -12 -16 to -28.

`- 28 = x`

5) Switch sides.

`x = - 28`

so, therefor, the answer is x = -28.

Answer 2

x = -28

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

11x - 12 = 16 + 12x

Step 2: Solve for x

1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate x terms: -12 = 16 + x
2. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate x: -28 = x
3. Rewrite: x = -28
