Answer 3

I got C

Answer 4

@nuccioreggie try again, you still there

Answer 5

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }\left( 5x + 12 \right) = 18\]
so move this 5 to the right hand side

Answer 6

i.e
5x + 12 = 18 times 5

Answer 7

5x + 12 = 90

Answer 8

5x = 90 -12

Answer 9

5x = 78

Answer 10

ok first we multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
multiply both sides of 5x+12/5= 18 by 5
\[\frac{ 5(5x+12) }{ 5 }= 5 x 18\]

Answer 11

x = 78/5
