Question

16 – (19+68х) = –25х – 12

Answer 1

16 - (19 + 68x) = - 25x - 12

16 - 19 - 68x = - 25x - 12

- 3 - 68x = - 25x - 12

- 68x + 25x = - 12 + 3

- 43x = - 9

x = 9/43

Answer 2

To solve the given equation, follow these steps:

1. Distribute the multiplication: 16 - (19 + 68x) = -25x - 12 16 - 19 - 68x = -25x - 12

2. Combine like terms on each side: -3 - 68x = -25x - 12

3. Add 25x to both sides to isolate x terms on one side: -3 - 68x + 25x = -12 -3 - 43x = -12

4. Add 3 to both sides to isolate the x term: -43x = -9

5. Finally, divide both sides by -43 to solve for x: x = -9 / -43 x = 9/43

So, the solution to the equation is: x = 9/43
