6 - x + 12 = 10x + 7 Answer by funmath(2933) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! SHOW ALL WORK TO SOLVE FOR x.
6 - x + 12 = 10x + 7 Combine like terms on the left:
-x+(6+12)=10x+7
-x+18=10x+7
x-x+18=x+10x+7
18=11x+7
18-7=11x+7-7
11=11x
11/11=11x/11
1=x
:
Check, substitute 1 in for x and see it the original equation equates:
6-1+12=10(1)+7
17=10+7
17=17 We're right!!!
Happy Calculating!!!
