Question

3(−4x) + 3(5) = 12

−12x + 15 = 12

−12x + 15 − 15 = 12 − 15

−12x = −3

x =

Answer 1

What are we trying to answer here

Answer 2

x

Answer 3

divide both sides by -12

Answer 4

x=4 because if you multiply 4 by -3 you get 12. also, you divide -3 from both sides and u still get 4.

Answer 5

3(−4x)+(3)(5)=12
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−12x+15=12
Step 2: Subtract 15 from both sides.
−12x+15−15=12−15
−12x=−3
Step 3: Divide both sides by -12.
−12x
