Question

$$5x-32x+12=0$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{4}{9}\approx 0.444444444$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $5x$ and $-32x$ to get $-27x$.

$$-27x+12=0$$

Subtract $12$ from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-27x=-12$$

Divide both sides by $-27$.

$$x=\frac{-12}{-27}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{-12}{-27}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $-3$.

$$x=\frac{4}{9}$$
