Solve for x : 12x+5=10x−11 .(1 point)
To solve for x, we need to get all the x terms on one side of the equation and all the constant terms on the other side.
First, let's move the 10x term to the left side by subtracting 10x from both sides:
12x + 5 = 10x - 11
2x + 5 = -11
Next, let's move the constant term 5 to the right side by subtracting 5 from both sides:
2x + 5 - 5 = -11 - 5
2x = -16
Lastly, divide by 2 to solve for x:
2x/2 = -16/2
x = -8
Therefore, x = -8.
