The 7x and the 5x are like terms. This means that you can add them up. Think about it, 7 x's plus 5x's equals 12x's. From there, you can divide 12 from both sides of the equation, and you will get that x = 2.
7x-5x=8 2x=8 x=4
It is: 12x
142
5x-3 = 11+12x 5x-12x = 11+3 -7x = 14 x = -2
x=12
18 + 7x - 12 + 5x = ?18 - 12+ 7x - 5x = ?6 + 2x = ?
5x2+7x = 12 5x2+7x-12 = 0 (5x+12)(x-1) = 0 x = -12/5 or x = 1
(4, -2)

7x = 5+5x 7x-5x = 5 2x = 5 x = 2.5
x=6
(1) 5x+y=-12 (2) 7x-3y=-30 From (1) one gets y = -12-5x Put into (2) 7x-3y = 7x -3 (-12-5x) = 7x + 36 +15 x = 22x +36=-30 22x = -30-36 = -66 so x = -3 and y=-12-5x = -12-5x-3= 3 The solution is (-3,3)
7x-5x=8 2x=8 x=4
It is: 12x
7x + 8 = 5x + 327x = 5x + 242x = 24x = 12hope this helps
