To solve the equation \(5x + 12 = 57\), we can follow these steps:
1. Subtract 12 from both sides:
\[
5x + 12 - 12 = 57 - 12
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
5x = 45
\]
2. Next, divide both sides by 5:
\[
x = \frac{45}{5}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = 9
\]
Now, we can see that none of the provided options (55, 77, 99, or 13) is equal to 9. Therefore, it appears that there was no correct answer provided in the options. The solution to the equation is \(x = 9\).
1. Subtract 12 from both sides:
\[
5x + 12 - 12 = 57 - 12
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
5x = 45
\]
2. Next, divide both sides by 5:
\[
x = \frac{45}{5}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = 9
\]
Now, we can see that none of the provided options (55, 77, 99, or 13) is equal to 9. Therefore, it appears that there was no correct answer provided in the options. The solution to the equation is \(x = 9\).
