Answer:

1. x=28

2. r=1+1/11

3=p=1/2

4=a=-48

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

9x-12=8x+16

We move all terms to the left:

9x-12-(8x+16)=0

We get rid of parentheses

9x-8x-16-12=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x-28=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

x=28
