is 27+9=-52x+40x
Solve for x:
36 = -12 x
36 = -12 x is equivalent to -12 x = 36:
-12 x = 36
Divide both sides of -12 x = 36 by -12:
(-12 x)/(-12) = 36/(-12)
(-12)/(-12) = 1:
x = 36/(-12)
The gcd of 36 and -12 is 12, so 36/(-12) = (12×3)/(12 (-1)) = 12/12×3/(-1) = 3/(-1):
x = 3/(-1)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 3/(-1) by -1:
Answer: |
| x = -3
