3 answers

To solve the equation \(5x − 12 − 6x = −10x + 7 − 1\), we will follow these steps:

  1. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation:

    On the left side: \[ 5x - 6x - 12 = -x - 12 \]

    On the right side: \[ -10x + 7 - 1 = -10x + 6 \]

    So the equation now is: \[ -x - 12 = -10x + 6 \]

  2. Add \(10x\) to both sides to get all \(x\) terms on one side: \[ -x + 10x - 12 = 6 \]

    This simplifies to: \[ 9x - 12 = 6 \]

  3. Add 12 to both sides: \[ 9x - 12 + 12 = 6 + 12 \]

    So we have: \[ 9x = 18 \]

  4. Divide by 9 to solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{18}{9} = 2 \]

The final solution is: \[ x = 2 \]

Thus, the steps in solving the equation were:

  1. Combine like terms.
  2. Add \(10x\) to both sides.
  3. Add 12 to both sides.
  4. Divide by 9 to solve for \(x\).
the options are : -12-12=-102+6
:: 5 - 18x = -3x - 1
:: 1x - 12 = -10x + 6
:: -12 = -11x + 6
:: 9x - 12 = 6
:: -12 = -9x + 6
:: -18 = 9x
:: -6 = -9х
-18 = -9x
:: x= 0
•: X = 1
Z =x
': X =-2

Based on the equation you provided earlier and the options available, let's fill in the blanks step by step. The original equation is:

\[ 5x - 12 - 6x = -10x + 7 - 1 \]

On simplifying, we derived:

  1. Combine like terms:
    • On the left side: \(5x - 6x - 12 = -x - 12\)
    • On the right side: \(-10x + 7 - 1 = -10x + 6\)

So we have: \[ -x - 12 = -10x + 6 \]

Now, let's follow through the correct option sequence based on simplifications.

  1. Combine like terms:

    • \(-12 - 12 = -10x + 6\)

    This doesn't match any options. Let's reframe this step using the options provided.

  2. Use the option assigning to combine terms:

    • Using the option: 1x - 12 = -10x + 6

Which is the combined left and right from our earlier calculation.

  1. Now, isolate x:

    • We can rearrange to: \[ 1x + 10x = 6 + 12 \]
    • Which gives: \[ 11x = 18 \]
    • This combined scenario should have a representation of 9x - 12 = 6 to gain continuity.
  2. Continuing from \(9x - 12 = 6\), add \(12\):

    • \(9x = 18\)
  3. Divide by 9:

    • \(x = 2\)

None of the provided options directly match the calculations (as they typically start with simplifying or reorganizing parts).

Additional possible options from what was derived:

  • \(9x - 12 = 6\)
  • \(x = 2\)

If you're looking to fill the blanks directly, the likely option choices would align to extract through:

  1. Combine \(1x - 12 = -10x + 6\)
  2. Apply remains, \(-12 = -10x + 6\)
  3. Gathering, subsequently realizing views across \(-12 + 12 = −10x + 6 + 12\) helps showcase if iterative expressions are consistent.

The end solution remains \(x = 2\) unless clarified for targeting specific segments within presented options.
