Answer:

I is clear that, the linear equation
5x+12=5x-7 has no solution.

Explanation:

Checking the first option:


(2)/(3)\left(9x+6\right)=6x+4


6x+4=6x+4


\mathrm{Subtract\:}4\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}


6x+4-4=6x+4-4


6x=6x


\mathrm{Subtract\:}6x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}


6x-6x=6x-6x


0=0


\mathrm{Both\:sides\:are\:equal}


\mathrm{True\:for\:all}\:x

Checking the 2nd option:


5x+12=5x-7


\mathrm{Subtract\:}5x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}


5x+12-5x=5x-7-5x


\mathrm{Simplify}


12=-7


\mathrm{The\:sides\:are\:not\:equal}


\mathrm{No\:Solution}

Checking the 3rd option:


4x+7=3x+7


\mathrm{Subtract\:}7\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}


4x+7-7=3x+7-7


\mathrm{Simplify}


4x=3x


\mathrm{Subtract\:}3x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}


4x-3x=3x-3x


\mathrm{Simplify}


x=0

Checking the 4th option:


-3\left(2x-5\right)=15-6x


\mathrm{Subtract\:}15\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}


-6x+15-15=15-6x-15


\mathrm{Simplify}\


-6x=-6x


\mathrm{Add\:}6x\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}


-6x+6x=-6x+6x


\mathrm{Simplify}


\mathrm{Both\:sides\:are\:equal}


\mathrm{True\:for\:all}\:x

Result:

Therefore, from the above calculations it is clear that, the linear equation


5x+12=5x-7 has no solution.
