Question

.5(x+4)=12 help plssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Answer 1

`(-13)/(5)` or -2.6

Explanation:

To do this you would first have the equation
`5(x+4)=12` and then you could multiply the x+5 by 5 which is 5x+25 so then your equation would be
`5x+25=12` then you would subtract 25 from both sides to cancel out the 25 so then your equation would look like this
`5x=-13` then you would divide from both sides to just get x so you would get
`x=(-13)/(5)` so you could leave it as is or you could turn it into a decimal which is -2.6
