Question

36+x=12-3x


Plz help quick

Answer 1

x = -6

Explanation:

36 + x = 12 - 3x

We need all terms with x on the left side.

Add 3x to both sides.

36 + x + 3x = 12 - 3x + 3x

36 + 4x = 12

We need all terms that are just numbers on the right side. Subtract 36 from both sides.

36 - 36 + 4x = 12 - 36

4x = -24

We have 4x, which means 4 multiplied by x, on the left side. We want x alone. Divide both sides by 4.

x = -6

Answer 2

x = -6

Explanation:

36 + x = 12 - 3x

36 + x - 36 = 12 - 3x - 36

x = -3x - 24

x + 3x = -3x - 24 + 3x

4x = -24

4x / 4 = -24 / 4

x = -6
