Question

Solve for x: −12x+20=−10x+32.

Answer 1

Bot, solve for x: 5x+2=3x−20.

Answer 2

To solve for x, we need to manipulate the equation and isolate the variable.
To do this, we can start by moving all the terms with x to one side of the equation and all the constants to the other side.

Starting with the given equation:
-12x + 20 = -10x + 32

We can move the terms with x to the left side:
-12x + 10x + 20 = 32

Simplifying this, we get:
-2x + 20 = 32

Next, we need to move the constant term to the right side of the equation by subtracting 20 from both sides:
-2x + 20 - 20 = 32 - 20

Simplifying this, we have:
-2x = 12

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -2 to isolate x:
(-2x)/-2 = 12/-2

Simplifying this, we get:
x = -6

Therefore, the solution for x is -6.
