Solve x-1 -12x 10

Evaluate

x - 1 - 12 x \times 10

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

x - 1 - 12 x \times 10 = 0

Multiply the terms

x - 1 - 120 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 119 x - 1 = 0

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

- 119 x = 0 + 1

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

- 119 x = 1

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

119 x = - 1

Divide both sides

\frac{119 x}{119} = \frac{- 1}{119}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 1}{119}

Solution

x = - \frac{1}{119}
