5x−12−6x=−10x+7−1
Step 1: Combine like terms Response area,
Step 2: Get x-terms on same side of equation Response area
Step 3: Get constants on same side of equation Response area
Step 4: Get the x by itself by using the inverse operation Response area
Step 1: Combine like terms
-5x - 12 = -10x + 6
Step 2: Get x-terms on same side of equation
5x - 10x = 6 - 12
Step 3: Get constants on same side of equation
-5x + 10x = -6
Step 4: Get the x by itself by using the inverse operation
5x = -6
Note: The equation is not solvable as it stands since it has no unique solution.
Step 1: Combine like terms:
5x - 6x - 10x = -12 + 7 - 1
Step 2: Get x-terms on the same side of the equation:
-11x = -6
Step 3: Get constants on the same side of the equation:
-11x + 6 = 0
Step 4: Get the x by itself by using the inverse operation:
-11x = -6
x = 6/11
