Answer:
x = -7
Explanation:
When subtracting negative numbers from positive it's like adding. The rules are a bit wonky I know haha. So your problem would look like this when "x" is solved:
5 - -7 = 12
Hope this helps and have a nice day!
x=-7
Subtract 5 from both sides.
−x=12−5
Subtract 5 from 12 to get 7.
−x=7
Multiply both sides by −1.
x=−7
