Question

$$3x+17=112+12x$$

Solve for x

$x = -\frac{95}{9} = -10\frac{5}{9} \approx -10.555555556$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $12x$ from both sides.

$$3x+17-12x=112$$

Combine $3x$ and $-12x$ to get $-9x$.

$$-9x+17=112$$

Subtract $17$ from both sides.

$$-9x=112-17$$

Subtract $17$ from $112$ to get $95$.

$$-9x=95$$

Divide both sides by $-9$.

$$x=\frac{95}{-9}$$

Fraction $\frac{95}{-9}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{95}{9}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{95}{9}$$
