Question

Solve this equation 5x-7=-12

Answer 1

x = -1

Explanation:

Isolate the variable by adding 7 on both sides. 5x-7+7 is 5x, and -12+7 is -5. Then, you get the equation 5x = -5. You have to then divide by 5 on both sides. 5x/5 is x and -5/5 is -1. You would then get that x = -1.

Answer 2

5x - 7= -12

5x - 7+7 = -12+ 7

5x= -5

x= -1
