12 (1-x) = 36

what's the equation

-12x + 12 = 33

-12x + 12 = 32 ... the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

to determine the equation in this 12 (1-x) = 36 expression is quite simple, you only need to open the bracket.

solution

12 (1-x) = 36

12 - 12x = 32

-12x + 12 = 32 ... the equation

we can further evaluate for the value of x

-12x = 32 - 12

-12x = 20

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is - 12

-12x = 20

-12x/-12 = 20/-12

x = - 1.67
