Hi there! :)

Answer:


\boxed{X=-1}

*THE ANSWER MUST HAVE A NEGATIVE SIGN!*

Explanation:

First, you subtract by 8 from both sides of an equation.

5x+8-8=9x+12-8

Subtract.

12-8=4

5x=9x+4

Then, you subtract by 9x from both sides of an equation.

5x-9x=9x+4-9x

Simplify by equation.

-4x=-4

Divide by -4 from both sides of an equation.

-4x/-4=-4/-4

Divide by the numbers from left/right.

-4/-4=-1


\boxed{X=-1}, is the FINAL/CORRECT ANSWER! :)

Have a nice day! :)

:D
