7x + 2 + 6x + 9 equals 12x + 5

plz show steps

Your supposed to add the like terms and 7x and 6x are like terms so you add those and get 13x and 9 and 2 are like terms and when you add them you get 11 and the answer of the first part of the equation is 13x + 11

Hello there!

7x + 2 + 6x + 9 = 12x + 5

13x + 11  = 12x + 5

13x - 12x = 5 - 11

x = -6

As always, it is my pleasure helping students like you. Please let me know if you have any questions about the answer. Thanks!

hey there!

12 is twice as much as 6 because 6 goes into 12 2 times.

since the rabbit is twice as tall, we should multiply the weight of the first rabbit, 0.25, by 2.

0.25 x 2 = 0.5

therefore, the 12 inch chocolate rabbit weighs 0.5 lb, or half a pound.

hope this !
