Hi there! :)
Answer:
![\boxed{X=-1}](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/8zf33q9fmjoffbz7ta71li32b5royvc833.png)
*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
, is the FINAL/CORRECT ANSWER! :)
Have a nice day! :)
