Question

1−8x=4x−x+12 what does x =

Answer 1

Answer: -1
Connect like terms move the termsAnd connect like terms again
Then divide both sides

Answer 2

Given Equation:

1 - 8x = 4x - x + 12

Solution:

Subtract the Like Terms.

1 - 8x = 3x + 12

Take the RHS to LHS.

1 - 8x - 3x - 12 = 0

Now, Subtract the Like Terms.

-11 - 11x = 0

Now, Take -11 to the LHS.

The value of a number changes when we take something to the other side of the equation.

-11x = 11

x = 11/-11

x = -1

Answer:

x = -1
