2

6

if it is any one of those answers can you please explain to me how you got that answer. because i am studying for my test tomorrow and i really need to know this. thank you.!!

Answer 1

1. 2x + 6 - 5x = 12 original equation
2. -3x + 6 = 12 combine x terms (add)
3. -3x = 6 isolate x on one side
4. x = -2

Answer 2

Simplifying
2x + 6 + -5x = 12

Reorder the terms:
6 + 2x + -5x = 12

Combine like terms: 2x + -5x = -3x
6 + -3x = 12

Solving
6 + -3x = 12

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 = 12 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -3x = 12 + -6
-3x = 12 + -6

Combine like terms: 12 + -6 = 6
-3x = 6

Divide each side by '-3'.
x = -2

Simplifying
x = -2

Answer 3

2x + 6 - 5x = 12
combine like terms (2x and -5x)
-3x + 6 = 12
subtract 6 from both sides
-3x = 6
divide by -3
x = -2

Answer 4

2x + 6 - 5x = 12
if your solving for x, first you have to combine like terms.
in this case, 2x and 5x are like terms.

2x - 5x = -3x

now the problem is;
-3x + 6 = 12

you have to subract 6 from both sides to get x by itself.
-3x + 6 - 6 = 12 -6
-3x=6
then you divide both sides to get x alone.
-3x / -3 = 6/-3
x = -2.

Answer 5

2x-5x=12-6 (Subtract 6 from both sides)
-3x=6 (Simplify)
x=-2 (Divide by -3)

Answer 6

2x-5x is -3x

-3x + 6 = 12
-6 -6

-3x = 6
/-3 /-3

x = -2

Answer 7

2x+6-5x=12
6-3x=12
-3x=12-6
x=12/-3
x=-2
