Question

5x + 12 = 3 + 6x what is the answer​

Answer 1

x=9

Explanation:

5x+12=3+6x

We can subtract 5x from both sides of the equation.

5x+12=3+6x

-5x -5x

We get 12=3+x

We can subtract 3 from both sides.

12=3+x

-3 -3

We get 9=x or x=9.

x=9

Answer 2

x=9

Explanation:

5x+12=3+6x

Subtract 5x on both sides to get the variable on the same side of the equation

12=3+x

Subtract 3 on both sides to isolate the variable

9=x
