Answer:
x = 0.5 or [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
7+3x-12x=3x+1
-3x =-3x cross out 3x
[tex]7-12x=1[/tex] subtract 7 on both sides
-7 =-7
[tex]-12x=-6[/tex] divide -12 into both sides
[tex]\frac{-12x}{-12} = \frac{-6}{-12}[/tex] cross out -12 and divide -6/-12 = 0.5
To check
7+3(0.5)=8.5 - 12(0.5)=2.5
3(0.5)=1.5+1= 2.5
