Solve 5-9x+36=x-12

$$5 - 9 x + 36 = x - 12$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{53}{10} = 5\frac{3}{10} = 5.3$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 5 and 36 to get 41.

$$41-9x=x-12$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$41-9x-x=-12$$

Combine -9x and -x to get -10x.

$$41-10x=-12$$

Subtract 41 from both sides.

$$-10x=-12-41$$

Subtract 41 from -12 to get -53.

$$-10x=-53$$

Divide both sides by -10.

$$x=\frac{-53}{-10}$$

Fraction \frac{-53}{-10} can be simplified to \frac{53}{10} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{53}{10}$$
