Solve this equation: 12−3(3x−5)=12(2x+1)

x = -3/11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the -3 and 12 within the parenthesis

12 - 9x + 15 = 24x + 12

Now, combine like terms

3 - 9x = 24x + 12

Subtract 24x from both sides of the equation

3 - 33x = 12

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

- 33x = 9

Divide both sides by -33

x = -9/33

-9/33 can be simplified to -3/11, so the answer is

x = -3/11

step-by-step explanation:

if the four friends split the cost, p, of the pizza evenly, then each friend pays one-fourth of the cost of the pizza.

the expression is   or  

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
