A) no solution, but i'm not sure

Answer 3

do you know what inverse operations is?

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

ok well inverse operations is used to isolate x or in other words get x by itself on one side of the equation to find out what it equals

Answer 6

so, what i need to do now?

Answer 7

so we need to move 12 since its on the same side of x so since it is positive ( + 12) we need to subtract it from both sides

Answer 8

so the equation will look like 6x = -30

Answer 9

understand so far?
