Solve x/12+1/3=−5/3.

Answer 1

`x=-24`

Explanation:

`(x)/(12) +(1)/(3) =-(5)/(3)`
`=(x)/(12)`

Subtract 1/3 from both sides;

`(x)/(12) +(1)/(3) -(1)/(3) =-(5)/(3)-(1)/(3)`

Simplify;

`(x)/(12) +(1)/(3) -(1)/(3) =-(5)/(3)-(1)/(3)`

Simplify;

`(x)/(12) +(1)/(3) -(1)/(3)`

Add similar elements;
`(1)/(3) -(1)/(3) =0`

`=(x)/(12)`

Simplify;
`-(5)/(3) -(1)/(3)`

=
`(-5-1)/(3)`

Subtract the numbers;-5-1=-6

`(-6)/(3)`

Apply fraction rule;

`-(6)/(3)`

Divide the numbers
`(6)/(3)`

=-2

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

Multiply both sides by 12

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

Simplify;

`x=-24`
