Question 551011
{{{5x-12+2x=22x-3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{7x-12=22x-3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{7x=22x-3+12}}} Add {{{12}}} to both sides.



{{{7x-22x=-3+12}}} Subtract {{{22x}}} from both sides.



{{{-15x=-3+12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-15x=9}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(9)/(-15)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-15}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-3/5}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-3/5}}}
