No I don't think so..

Answer:

-53

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute

5 − 1 2 = − 5 ( − +1 3 )

5 − 1 2 = 5 − 6 5

Add  1 2  to both sides of the equation  

5x-12=5x-65

5x−12+12=5x−65+12

Simplify

5x=5x-53

Subtract   5x  from both sides of the equation

5x=5x-53

5x-5x=5x-53-5x

Simplify

-53
