Answer:
x=[tex]\frac{13}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]6( x - 1) - 12 = - 5 \\ ⟹ 6x - 6 - 12 = - 5 \\ ⟹ 6x - 18 = - 5 \\ ⟹ 6x = - 5 + 18 \\ ⟹x = \frac{13}{6}[/tex]
Hi there! :)
[tex]\huge\boxed{x = \frac{13}{6}}[/tex]
6(x - 1) - 12 = -5
Begin by adding 12 to both sides:
6(x - 1) = -5 + 12
6(x - 1) = 7
Divide both sides by 6:
6(x - 1)/ 6 = 7 / 6
x - 1 = 7/6
Add 1 to both sides:
x = 7/6 + 6/6
x = 13/6.
