Solve 12x/12-4x+72/12-3x+96/12=26

$$\frac { 12 x } { 12 } - \frac { 4 x + 72 } { 12 } - \frac { 3 x + 96 } { 12 } = 26$$

Solve for x

$$x=96$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12.

$$12x-\left(4x+72\right)-\left(3x+96\right)=312$$

To find the opposite of 4x+72, find the opposite of each term.

$$12x-4x-72-\left(3x+96\right)=312$$

Combine 12x and -4x to get 8x.

$$8x-72-\left(3x+96\right)=312$$

To find the opposite of 3x+96, find the opposite of each term.

$$8x-72-3x-96=312$$

Combine 8x and -3x to get 5x.

$$5x-72-96=312$$

Subtract 96 from -72 to get -168.

$$5x-168=312$$

Add 168 to both sides.

$$5x=312+168$$

Add 312 and 168 to get 480.

$$5x=480$$

Divide both sides by 5.

$$x=\frac{480}{5}$$

Divide 480 by 5 to get 96.

$$x=96$$
