x = 3

Explanation:

10x + 1 = 12x − 5

Step 1: Subtract 12x from both sides.

10x + 1 −12 x = 12x − 5 − 12x

−2x + 1 = −5

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

−2x + 1 − 1 = −5 −1

−2x = − 6

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x / −2 = −6 / −2

x = 3

Answer:

x=3

Explanation:

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

10x+1=12x-5

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

+10x-12x=-5-1

We simplify the left and right side of the equation.

-2x=-6

We divide both sides of the equation by -2 to get x.
