Answer:x=8

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2 /3 (x+12)+ 2 /3 x= −5 /4 x+2

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−5 /4x+2=−8

Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.

−5 /4 x+2−2=−8−2 −5 /4 x=−10

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 4/(-5).

( 4 /−5 )*( −5 /4 x)=( 4 /−5 )*(−10)

step 5: answer

x=8
