Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to get all the x terms on the same side and all the constant terms on the other side.

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

Adding 6 to both sides:

12x = 7x - 4

Subtracting 7x from both sides:

5x = -4

Dividing both sides by 5:

x = -4/5

So, the value of x that makes this equation true is:

x = -4/5

C) -4/5
