Question 112322


{{{-9x+15=-22-4(x+12)}}} Start with the given equation




{{{-9x+15=-22-4x-48}}} Distribute



{{{-9x+15=-4x-70}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{-9x=-4x-70-15}}}Subtract 15 from both sides



{{{-9x+4x=-70-15}}} Add 4x to both sides



{{{-5x=-70-15}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{-5x=-85}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(-85)/(-5)}}} Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x




{{{x=17}}} Divide


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

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=17}}}
