Question

$$12X-48=-15X-30$$

Solve for X

$X=\frac{2}{3}\approx 0.666666667$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $15X$ to both sides.

$$12X-48+15X=-30$$

Combine $12X$ and $15X$ to get $27X$.

$$27X-48=-30$$

Add $48$ to both sides.

$$27X=-30+48$$

Add $-30$ and $48$ to get $18$.

$$27X=18$$

Divide both sides by $27$.

$$X=\frac{18}{27}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{18}{27}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $9$.

$$X=\frac{2}{3}$$
