Solve 4(x-12)-5=-33

Evaluate

4 (x - 12) - 5 = - 33

Move the expression to the left side

4 (x - 12) - 5 - (- 33) = 0

Subtract the numbers

More Steps

4 (x - 12) + 28 = 0

Calculate

More Steps

4 x - 20 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

4 x = 0 + 20

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

4 x = 20

Divide both sides

\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{20}{4}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{20}{4}
