Answer:

x = 2.14

Explanation:

8x - 3 = x + 12 (6/2 = 3)

7x - 3 = 12 (subtracted 1x from both sides)

7x = 15 (added 3 to both sides)

x = 2.14 (divided 15 by 7)

Hope this helps :)

Answer: 15/7

Step-by-step explanation: Simplify 6/2 to 3

8x-3=x+12

Add 3 to both sides

8x=x+15

Subtract x from both sides

7x=15

Divide both sides by 7

x=15/7
