Question

4x=5x-12 what does x equal

Answer 1

4x = 5x - 12

12 = 5x - 4x

12 = x

Answer 2

4x = 5x - 12

First you want to subtract 5x from both sides:

5x will cancel out

4x - 5 = -1

Next you want to divide -1 on both sides:

-1 will cancel out

-12/-1 = 12

Since there are two negatives it turns into a positive.

So your answer is x = 12.
