I’m not smart either so I’m not sure if this is correct:(
Answer: x is 11
Equation: 12x-39=8x+5
We must first drag all the x’s to the left side, which would be 12x-8x=5+39
That would be 4x=44
Then the final result would be x=11 because before that result, it would be x=44/4=11/1=11
Therefore, the answer is 11
