Question 846946: Hi! This is a fairly simple question but I am a bit rusty on my algebra(haven't done any for 4 years), so I just need to check if an assignment question is right!
It is as follows:
"Rearrange the following equations in the form 'x='
12 - 3(x - 2b) = 5b - 4x"
This is what I tried as the answer:
12-3(x-2b)=5b-4x
-3(x-2b)+12=5b-4x
-3(x-2b)+12-5b+4x=0
-3(x-2b)-5b+4x+12=0
(-3+4)x+(6-5)b+12=0
x+b+12=0
x=-b-12
Please let me know if I have done correctly. Alternatively, if it is wrong, please help me come to the correct answer.
Thank-you in advance!
