Question 477217
{{{35x+12=40x+42}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{35x=40x+42-12}}} Subtract {{{12}}} from both sides.



{{{35x-40x=42-12}}} Subtract {{{40x}}} from both sides.



{{{-5x=42-12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-5x=30}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(30)/(-5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-5}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-6}}} Reduce.
