Solve 0x^2-3x-12=2x

$$0 x ^ { 2 } - 3 x - 12 = 2 x$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{12}{5} = -2\frac{2}{5} = -2.4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Anything times zero gives zero.

$$0-3x-12=2x$$

Subtract 12 from 0 to get -12.

$$-12-3x=2x$$

Subtract 2x from both sides.

$$-12-3x-2x=0$$

Combine -3x and -2x to get -5x.

$$-12-5x=0$$

Add 12 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$-5x=12$$

Divide both sides by -5.

$$x=\frac{12}{-5}$$

Fraction \frac{12}{-5} can be rewritten as -\frac{12}{5} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{12}{5}$$
