What is the value of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 - x =7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 12 from each side. 7-12= -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x is -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thanks so much!

OpenStudy (mathivh):

Subtract 12 from each side, next multiply both sides by (-1).

OpenStudy (mathivh):

Only subtracting 12 from both sides would get you: \[-x=-5\] multiply both sides by (-1) and you get \[x=5\]
