Question

12x+5=10x-11
.

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

First, we'll subtract 10x from both sides of the equation to get:

12x + 5 - 10x = 10x - 11 - 10x
2x + 5 = -11

Next, we'll subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

2x + 5 - 5 = -11 - 5
2x = -16

Finally, we'll divide by 2 to solve for x:

2x/2 = -16/2
x = -8

Therefore, the solution to the equation 12x + 5 = 10x - 11 is x = -8.
