5x−12−6x=−10x+7−1

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we can start by combining like terms on both sides of the equation.

5x - 12 - 6x = -10x + 7 - 1

To combine like terms on the left side, we simplify:

(5x - 6x) - 12 = -10x + 7 - 1

-x - 12 = -10x + 6

Next, we can simplify the right side by combining like terms:

-x - 12 = -10x + 6

To isolate the variable, we can add 10x to both sides:

9x - 12 = 6

Next, we can add 12 to both sides:

9x = 18

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 9:

x = 2

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 2.
