Question

What is the answer to this equation? Must solve for x.
x+5=12x−4

Answer 1

`x - 12x = - 4 - 5 \\ 11x = 9 \\ x = (9)/(11) \\`

Answer 2

x = 9/11

Explanation:

x + 5 = 12x - 4

Subtract x from both sides

x + 5 - x = 12x - x - 4

5 = 11x - 4

Add 4 to both sides

5+ 4 = 11x - 4 + 4

9 = 11x

Divide both sides by 11

9/11 = 11x/11

9/11 = x

x = 9/11
