Answer 1

4x - 12 = -7x - 111
11x = -99
x = -9

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sorry, but I won't be explaining it, however I will show every step.

Let's begin.

4x - 12 = -7x - 111

4x - 12 + 7x = -7x - 111 + 7x

11x - 12 = -111

11x - 12 + 111 = -111 + 111

11x + 99 = 0

11x + 99 - 99 = 0 - 99

11x = -99

11x/11 = -99/11

x = -9
