Answer:
-6/5 (fraction)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4x+2(x−3)=x−12
4x+(2)(x)+(2)(−3)=x+−12(Distribute)
4x+2x+−6=x+−12
(4x+2x)+(−6)=x−12(Combine Like Terms)
6x+−6=x−12
6x−6=x−12
Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.
6x−6−x=x−12−x
5x−6=−12
Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.
5x−6+6=−12+6
5x=−6
Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.
5x/5 (Cross this out) = ANSWER: (-6/5)
x = -6/5
