What is the solution to this equation x+12=-5

X + 12 = -5

To find the solution of this problem, we need to get x alone on one side, and then simplify if needed.

With this information, we are ready to solve.

Currently, our equation is:

x + 12 = -5
Remember, we are trying to get x by itself.
Also, take note that when you do something to one side of the equation, you must do it to the other side as well.

x + 12 = -5
Subtract 12 from both sides to get x by itself.

12 - 12 = 0
-5 - 12 = -17 (when subtracting from a negative, you are basically adding positive numbers with a negative sign).
You are left with:

x = -17

I hope this helps!
