Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in all missing terms and select all missing descriptions. simplify any fractions. 12x + 3 = -x + 16 13x + 3 = 16 13x = 13 x = divide both sides by 13

Explanation:

Step1: Add x to both sides

$12x + 3+x=-x + 16+x$, which simplifies to $13x + 3 = 16$.

Step2: Subtract 3 from both sides

$13x+3 - 3=16 - 3$, which gives $13x = 13$.

Step3: Divide both sides by 13

$\frac{13x}{13}=\frac{13}{13}$, so $x = 1$.

Answer:

$1$
