The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( 6(6x-5) - 5(7x-8) = 12(4-x) + 1 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Distribute the terms We start by distributing the numbers outside the parentheses: \[ 6(6x) - 6(5) - 5(7x) + 5(8) = 12(4) - 12(x) + 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ 36x - 30 - 35x + 40 = 48 - 12x + 1 \] ### Step 2: Combine like terms Now, we combine the like terms on both sides of the equation: On the left side: \[ (36x - 35x) + (-30 + 40) = 1x + 10 \] On the right side: \[ 48 + 1 - 12x = 49 - 12x \] So we have: \[ x + 10 = 49 - 12x \] ### Step 3: Move all terms involving \( x \) to one side Next, we will move all terms involving \( x \) to one side and the constant terms to the other side. We can do this by adding \( 12x \) to both sides: \[ x + 12x + 10 = 49 \] This simplifies to: \[ 13x + 10 = 49 \] ### Step 4: Isolate \( x \) Now, we will isolate \( x \) by subtracting 10 from both sides: \[ 13x = 49 - 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ 13x = 39 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) Finally, we divide both sides by 13 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{39}{13} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 3 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the solution to the equation is: \[ x = 3 \] ---
