Question

What value of x makes this equation true? 12 x minus 15 = 6 minus 3 x

Answer 1

Explanation:

`12x - 15 = 6 - 3x`

Move all x values to one side of the equation, and all constant values to the other side of the equation, and don't forget to flip the signs when going from left to right or vice versa.

`12 x + 3x = 6 + 15`

`15x = 21`

`x = (21)/(15) = (7)/(5)`

Answer 2

Exact Form - 7/5

Decimal form - 1.4

Mixed Form 1 2/5

Explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
