\huge\text{Hey there!}



\mathsf{2x + 5 = 12}


\large\text{Subtract 5 to both sides}


\mathsf{2x + 5 - 5 = 12 - 5}


\large\text{Simplify it}


\mathsf{2x = 12 - 5}


\mathsf{2x = 7}


\large\text{Divide 2 to both sides}


\mathsf{(2x)/(2) = (7)/(2)}


\large\text{Simplify it}


\mathsf{x = (7)/(2)}


\mathsf{x \approx 3 (1)/(2)}



\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{x = (7)/(2)}}}\huge\checkmark




\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
