Answer: x=-17
Step-by-step explanation:
We first distribute the - 12 across to the (x+5)
144=-12 (x+5)
144=-12x-60
Then, we add 60 to both sides.
204 = - 12x
Lastly, we divide the equation by - 12.
204/-12 = - 12x/-12
-17 = x

Step-by-step explanation:
114=-12 (x+5)
Use the Distributive Property of Multiplication (distribute the - 12 to the x and 5).
144=-12x-60
Add 60 to both sides of the equal sign to get - 12x by itself.
144+60=-12x-60+60
204=-12x
Divide both sides of the equal sign to isolate the variable.
204/-12=-12x/-12
-17=x (<<
