Answer 1

-55/3

Explanation:

6x+12=3x-43

Subtract 3x from both sides:

3x+12=-43

Subtract 12 from both sides:

3x=-55

Divide both sides by 3:

x=-55/3

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

x = -18.33 or x = -55/3 (fraction form)

Explanation:

first, you need to get x on one side,

6x + 12 = 3x - 43

-3x -3x

3x + 12 = -43

then, get the x by itself.

3x + 12 = -43

-12 -12

3x = -55

divide both sides by three

3x/3 = -55/3

x = -18.33

and you have your answer!
