Answer:
x = - 12 6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 12x/5= 18
Get a common denominator on the left
5/5 x -12/5x = 18
Subtract
-7/5 x = 18
Multiply each side by -5/7 to isolate x
-5/7 *-7/5 x = -5/7 *18
x = -5*18/7
x = -90/7
Changing this to a mixed number
7 goes into 90 1 2 times with 6 left over
x = - 12 6/7
