Simplifying
4x + 2 = -1(x + -12)
Reorder the terms:
2 + 4x = -1(x + -12)
Reorder the terms:
2 + 4x = -1(-12 + x)
2 + 4x = (-12 * -1 + x * -1)
2 + 4x = (12 + -1x)
Solving
2 + 4x = 12 + -1x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add 'x' to each side of the equation.
2 + 4x + x = 12 + -1x + x
Combine like terms: 4x + x = 5x
2 + 5x = 12 + -1x + x
Combine like terms: -1x + x = 0
2 + 5x = 12 + 0
2 + 5x = 12
Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + 5x = 12 + -2
Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 5x = 12 + -2
5x = 12 + -2
Combine like terms: 12 + -2 = 10
5x = 10
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 2
Simplifying
x = 2
