Does any one know how to do this math proble?

Question

5-x=6x+12 and could u explain

please

Answer 1

5-x=6x+12........add opposites to get all x's on one side and all the numbers on the other

Add x to both sides

5 = 7x + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides

-7 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7 because it's in front of x

-1 = x

Good luck to you !

Answer 2

5-x=6x+12

you want the x on one side and the numbers on the other

first subtract 12 from each side

-7 ( because 5-12)  - x = 6x

add 1x to each side

-7=7x

Divide both sides by 7

-7/7=x

x = -1

Check

5-(-1)=(6*-1) + 12

two negatives makes a plus

6 = -6+12

Answer 3

5-x = 6x +12

5-12 = 6x +x

-7 = 7x

x = -1

Answer 4

1st you want to get all your Xs on one side and all your constants on the other

so you add the -x to the other side, and subtract the 12 from the five. you should have

-7 = 7x

then you divide each side by seven

the you have

x = -7
