Question

2 + 3x = 12 - 5x

Why I am having so much trouble with this?

Answer 1

x = 5/ 4

Explanation:

2 + 3x =12- 5x

3x + 5x = 12 - 2

8x = 10

x = 10/8

x = 5/4

Answer 2

Answer:x=5/4

Explanation:

you can take numbers with same variable(i mean x or y or other) in the same side:

2+3x=12-5x

2-12=-5x-3x

-10=-8x

x=10/8=5/4
