Question 412012


{{{7x+8x-12=59}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{15x-12=59}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{15x=59+12}}} Add {{{12}}} to both sides.



{{{15x=71}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(71)/(15)}}} Divide both sides by {{{15}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=71/15}}} which approximates to {{{x=4.733}}}.
