CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT PLEASE !!!!!
solve for x: 12x – 17 = -41

Answer 1

Answer 4

12x - 17 = -41
+17 +17

12x = -24
/12 /12

x = -2

Answer 5

Can you guys help me out with this one 4( x – 2 ) = 5( x + 3) and this one ? 5(x – 8) = -10

Answer 6

Distribute the 4 and 5 giving you
4x - 8 = 5x + 14
+8 +8
4x = 5x +22
-5x -5x

-x = 22
Divide by a -1 to both sides to get a positive x answer
x = -22

Answer 7

Second one-
Again distribute the 5 giving you
5x - 40 = -10
+40 +40
5x = 30
/5 /5
x = 6
