Question

Solve the equation for x and enter your answer below. 7= x - (-12)

Answer 1

-5

Explanation:

add 7 and -12

you will get "-5"

so then you do "-5- (-12)"

PS!! The "-5" is what your x equals!

so after you add those you should get "7"

This is probably the easiest way to do it especially when you get older

Answer 2

-5 =x

Explanation:

7= x - (-12)

Subtracting a negative is like adding

7 = x+12

Subtract 12 from each side

7-12 = x+12-12

-5 =x
