Answer:

x=1.5

Explanation:

4x-97+12-x=-80.5

Combine like terms

-97+12=-85

4x-x=3x

now you have 3x-85=-80.5

add 85 to both sides and now you have

3x=4.5

Now divide 3 to both sides and you get x=1.5

Answer: x - 1.5

4x – 97 + 12 – x = -80.5

3 x - 85 = -80.5

3 x - 85 +85 = -80.5 + 85

3x = -80.5 + 85

3x = 4.5

x = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation: hope this helps
