Question

solve algebraically for x : 3(x+1)-5x=12-(6x-7)

Answer 1

there are many different way to asnwer this, you can graph both and see where they intersect, but the answer is 4 and im fixing to show proof gimme a sec.

Answer 2

I don't see where you would need to graph anything o.o

First, you will need to distribute to get rid of those parentheses:
3x+3-5x=12-6x+7
Then you can add all factors that are alike:
3-2x=19-6x
Now you want to get all of your x's on one side, I advise the left side. Add 6x to both sides:
3-2x+6x=19-6x+6x
3+4x=19
You still want the x to be by itself, so subtract 3 from both sides:
-3+3+4x=19-3
4x=16
Now to get the 4 separated from the x you have to divide:
4x/4=16/4
x=4
