Hey there! :)
Answer:
x = -7/12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
[tex]x + \frac{5}{12} = -\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Create a common denominator for each term:
[tex]\frac{12x}{12} + \frac{5}{12} = -\frac{2}{12}[/tex]
Disregard the denominator:
12x + 5 = -2
Subtract 5 from both sides:
12x = -7
Divide both sides by 12:
x = -7/12.
