Carlton is solving a linear equation using the steps shown.

Equation: Negative 4 x + 12 = negative 6 x
Step 1: Add 4x to both sides: 12 = negative 6 x + 4 x
Step 2: Combine like terms: 12 = negative 2 x

Respuesta :

Answer:

x= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

12 = -2x

Divide -2 on both sides=

-6=x

x=-6

Double Check:

-4x +12 = -6

-4(-6) +12=-6(-6)

24+12 = 36

36 = 36
