LCM(5x, 12x) = 60x
12x - 14 = 5x12x = 5x + 147x = 14x = 2
Like terms are: 5x -7x +2x and 3 -5
If you're adding them, that equals 12x
12x = 36
After collecting like terms, (3 - 5x - 5 - 12x) reduces to (-2 - 17x).
Each term in an algebraic expression is separated by plus & minus 5x + 4 = 12x has two different terms (5x, 4). Good answer. Actually the equation has three terms, 5x, 4 and 12x.
LCM(5x, 12x) = 60x
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.
No, 12x and 14y are not like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. In this case, 12x has a variable x raised to the first power, while 14y has a variable y raised to the first power. Since the variables are different, they are not considered like terms.
First, get everything that is like together. The -5 and the 3 are like and together they make -2. The -12x and the -5x and like and together they make -17x. The final answer is -17x-2
5x-3 = 11+12x 5x-12x = 11+3 -7x = 14 x = -2

12x - 14 = 5x12x = 5x + 147x = 14x = 2
x + 5x + 6x = 12x. There are 3 terms. If the arithmetic mean is 8 then 12x = 3 x 8 = 24 : So, x = 24 ÷ 12 = 2.
-12x-2Given: -5x-(7x+2)This is the same as -5x-1(7x+2). Use the distributive property and multiply the -1 through (7x+2).-5x-7x-2Simplify.-12x-2
Think of this a 12 x-rays + 5 x-rays Makes 17 x-rays. 12x+5x=17x
