Answer: x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute 5(x) and 5(-2)
-12 + 6x = 6 + 5x + (-10) OR 5x - 10
Flip if you'd like
6x - 12 = 6 + 5x - 10
Combine like terms
6x−12=(5x)+(6+−10)
6x - 12 = 5x - 4
Subtract 5x from both 6 and 5
6x - 5x = 5x - 5x
5x cancels out, so you're left with x, 12, and -4
x - 12 = -4
Add 12 to 12 and -4
12 + 12 = -4 + 12
12 cancels out
-4 + 12 = 8
x = 8
