Let's fill in the blanks step-by-step to solve the equation \( 5x−12−6x=−10x+7−1 \).
Step 1: Combine like terms
Response area:
\( -x - 12 = -10x + 6 \)
Step 2: Get x-terms on the same side of the equation
Response area:
\( -x + 10x = 6 + 12 \)
Step 3: Get constants on the same side of the equation
Response area:
\( 9x = 18 \)
Step 4: Get the x by itself by using the inverse operation
Response area:
\( x = 2 \)
This completes the steps for solving the equation.
