or, 2+10=5x-2x

or, 12=3x

or, 12÷3=x

or, 4=x

therefore, x=4

Explanation:

first, you need to arrange the term in proper way. while doing that you need to change the signs and then you need to add or subtract them and to find the value of x you need to divide 12 by 3 and the answer will come out.
