Question

What is the solution to this equation?

x + 12 = -5
O A. x= -17
B. X= -7
O c. x= 17
O D. x = 7

Answer 1

x=-17

Explanation:

Original Equation;

x+12=-5

The 12 will cross the equal sign so it will become -12. So it's going to be;

x=-5-12

There are two negative number so you add them and when you add them it would still be negative. And you would have to add them because when there are two negative numbers without any other sign you will have to add so it's going to be;

x=-17

This is the final answer!!!
