Explanation:

A. 5x=12x-14

you will simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

5x=12x-14

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+5x-12x=-14

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

-7x=-14

We divide both sides of the equation by -7 to get x.

x=2

B. 5B+12=BB=28

you will move all terms to the left:

.5B+12-(BB)=0

you will move all terms containing B to the left, all other terms to the right

.5B-BB=-12
