Solve 8x+9+12x=4*-13-5x

$$8x+9+12x=4 \times -13-5x$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{61}{25} = -2\frac{11}{25} = -2.44$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 8x and 12x to get 20x.

$$20x+9=4\left(-13\right)-5x$$

Multiply 4 and -13 to get -52.

$$20x+9=-52-5x$$

Add 5x to both sides.

$$20x+9+5x=-52$$

Combine 20x and 5x to get 25x.

$$25x+9=-52$$

Subtract 9 from both sides.

$$25x=-52-9$$

Subtract 9 from -52 to get -61.

$$25x=-61$$

Divide both sides by 25.

$$x=\frac{-61}{25}$$

Fraction \frac{-61}{25} can be rewritten as -\frac{61}{25} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{61}{25}$$
