Answer:

C. x = 1

Explanation:

Combine like terms

10 + 2 − 3 = 9

12 − 3 = 9

Add 3 to both sides of the equation

12 − 3 + 3 = 9 + 3

Add the numbers

12 = 9 + 3

12 = 12


(12x)/(12) = (12)/(12)

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator


x = (12)/(12)

Divide the numbers

x = 1

Therefore the correct answer is C. x = 1
