Answer:

x=4

Explanation:

Add 4 to both sides.

12x=5x+24+4

Simplify 5x+24+4 to 5x+28

Subtract 5x from both sides

12x-5x=28

Simplify 12x-5x1 to 7x

7x=28

Divide both sides by 7

28/7

simplify 28/7

x=4

Answer:

4

Explanation:

12x - 4 = 5x + 24 convert like terms to the same side of equation

12x - 5x = 24 + 4 as you can see, when we send a terms to the other side of equation its sign changes

7x = 28 multiply both sides by 7

x = 4
