Question

CheckSolve to find the value for x in the linear equation: 3(-4x + 5)=12.1 Use the distributive property2. Use the subtraction property of equality3. Division property of equality:3(-4x) + 3(5) = 12-12x + 15 = 12-12r + 15 - 15 = 12- 15-12r= -3

Answer 1

$3(-4x+5)=12$$\begin{gathered} -12x+15=12 \\ -12x+15-15=12-15 \\ -12x=-3 \\ \frac{-12}{-12}x=\frac{-3}{-12} \\ \\ x=\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}$

the value of x is 1/4
