Question

-3x -12 = -8 - 13x
(I'm on very little sleep so don't judge me .-.)

Answer 1

Answer: x=2/5

Explanation:

-3x-12=-8-13x Add 12 to both sides

−3x=−8−13x+12 Simplify

−3x=−13x+4 Add 13x to both sides

−3x+13x=4 Simplify

10x=4 Divide

x=4/10 Simplify

x=2/5

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. Stay healthy and safe and HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! :-)

Answer 2

x = 2/5

Explanation:

-3x - 12 = -8 - 13x

Add 12 to both sides to eliminate -12 on the left side

-3x - 12 + 12 = -8 -13x + 12

-3x = -8 + 12 - 13x

-3x = 4 - 13x

Add 13x to both sides to eliminate -13x on the right side

-3x + 13x = 4 - 13x + 13x

10x = 4

Divide both sides by 10

10x/10 = 4/10

x = 2/5
