Solve for x
.
x−12=−13
(1 point)
x=

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x - 12 = -13 \), you need to isolate \( x \).

Here’s how to do it step by step:

1. Add 12 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -12 on the left side:

   \[ x - 12 + 12 = -13 + 12 \]

2. This simplifies to:

   \[ x = -1 \]

So, the solution is:

\[ x = -1 \]
