The solution

You have entered [src]
20*x + 60 = -15*x - 12
$$20 x + 60 = - 15 x - 12$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
20*x+60 = -15*x-12

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$20 x = - 15 x - 72$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$35 x = -72$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 35
x = -72 / (35)

We get the answer: x = -72/35
