Answer:

x=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-5(x-2)=12x+4-x

4x-5x+10=12x-x+4

-x+10=11x+4

-x-11x+10=4

-12x+10=4

-12x=4-10

-12x=-6

12x=6

x=6/12

simplify

x=1/2

Answer: x = 1/2

Explanation :

First write the equation as you see it:

4x-5(x-2)=12x+4-x

Next do the math in the parentheses:

4x-5x+10=12x-x+4

Combine the x’s:

-12x+10=4

Switch the 10 and put it on the other side:

-12x=4-10

Change to negative to positive:

12x=6

Divide:

x=6/12

Simplify

x=1/2

Thus, you answer is x = 1/2

Hope this helps! :)
