-9x%2B15=-22-4%28x%2B12%29 Start with the given equation



-9x%2B15=-22-4x-48 Distribute


-9x%2B15=-4x-70 Combine like terms on the right side


-9x=-4x-70-15Subtract 15 from both sides


-9x%2B4x=-70-15 Add 4x to both sides


-5x=-70-15 Combine like terms on the left side


-5x=-85 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%28-85%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x



x=17 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x=17
