Question

solve the equation

12-5x+9x=-2(-7x+9)

Answer 1

distriibute two into your quantity then combine like terms :D dont forget to put all the x on one side and the constant on the other

Answer 2

i got x= 1.6 but it's wrong because when i go to plug in the numbers it's not right-

Answer 3

i don't know where i'm messing up at

Answer 4

x=3

Answer 5

12 - 5x + 9x = 14x - 18

did you get that same equation?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

12-4x=14x-18

Answer 8

12 + 18 = 14x + 4x
30 = 18x

Answer 9

yup 1.6 is right

Answer 10

12-5x+9x=-2(-7x+9)
12-5x+9x=14x-18
12+4x=14x-18
-12 -12
4x=14x-30
-14x-14x
-10x=-30

-x=-3

x=3

Answer 11

thanks- i c where i messing up at now

Answer 12

Check:

12-5(3)+9(3)=-2(-7(3)+9)
12-15+27=-2(-21+9)
12-15+27=42-18
-3+27=42-18
24=24

Answer 13

First of all ,in such questions we must see whether it is an equation/inequation . Yours is a linear equation
Linear equations are solved as:
First bring the like terms together i.e.
huge\12-5x+9x=-2(-7x+9)
can be written as (with proper sign changes)
12-15+27=-2(-21+9)
12-15+27=42-18
-3+27=42-18
24=24
