Respuesta :

5x - 3 = 11 + 12x

---Subtract 5x from both sides

-3 = 11 + 7x

---Subtract 11 from both sides

-14 = 7x

---Divide both sides by 7 to leave x by itself

x = -2

Answer: x = -2

Answer Choice: A, -2

Hope this helps!

Answer:

A. The solution is x =-2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

  • 5x - 3 = 11 + 12x

Subtract 11 from each side.

  • 5x - 3 - 11 = 11 + 12x - 11
  • 5x - 14 = 12x

Subtract 5x from each side.

  • 5x - 14 - 5x = 12x - 5x
  • 7x = -14
  • x = -2

A. The solution is x =-2.
