−6 + 12x = 7x − 10
What value of x makes this equation true?
A 4/5
B 5/4
C -4/5
D 2/5
To solve for x, we first want to combine like terms.
-6 + 12x = 7x - 10
12x - 7x = 10 - 6
5x = 4
Now, to solve for x, divide both sides by 5:
x = 4/5
So the correct value of x that makes this equation true is:
A) 4/5
