Answer:
6x + 12 - (3x - 7)
6x + 12 - 3x + 7
3x + 19
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
6x + 13 + -3x + -7 = 0
Reorder the terms:
13 + -7 + 6x + -3x = 0
Combine like terms: 13 + -7 = 6
6 + 6x + -3x = 0
Combine like terms: 6x + -3x = 3x
6 + 3x = 0
Solving
6 + 3x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + 3x = 0 + -6
Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + 3x = 0 + -6
3x = 0 + -6
Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6
3x = -6
Divide each side by '3'.
x = -2
Simplifying
x = -2
