Question  
 Solve the equation
x=−712
Alternative Form
 x=−1.7˙14285˙
Evaluate
23x−12−32x=−2x
Subtract the terms
        More Steps
        
Evaluate
23x−32x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(23−32)x
Subtract the numbers
−9x
−9x−12=−2x
Move the variable to the left side
−9x−12+2x=0
Add the terms
        More Steps
        
Evaluate
−9x+2x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−9+2)x
Add the numbers
−7x
−7x−12=0
Move the constant to the right side
−7x=0+12
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−7x=12
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
7x=−12
Divide both sides
77x=7−12
Divide the numbers
x=7−12
Solution
