Answer:
x = 179/9 or 19 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute:
-12x-(12x+4)+12=12x-6(3x+56)
then add your numbers:
-12x-12x- 4+12=12x-6(3x+56)
-12x- 12x+ 8 =12x-6 (3x+56)
then combine like terms:
-12x-(12x+4)+12=12x-6(3x+56)
-24x + 8 = 12x - 6 (3x + 56)
distribute again:
-24x + 8 = 12x- 6 (3x + 56)
-24x + 8 = 12x- 18x -336
combine like terms once again:
-24x + 8 = 12x -18x -336
-24x + 8 = -6x -336
subtract 8 from both sides of equation:
-24x + 8 = -6x -336
-24x + 8- 8 = -6x -336- 8
simplify:
-24x = -6x -344
add 6x to both sides:
-24x = +6x -344 + 6x
simplify: -18x = -344
divide: -18/-18 = -344/-18
Simplify and your answer should be 172/9 or 19 1/9
