Answer:


\huge x = (1)/(2) \\

Explanation:


8x+2+3x +5=x+12

Simplify the terms on the left side of the equation


11x + 7 = x + 12

Move x to the left side of the equation


11x - x + 7 = 12 \\ 10x + 7 = 12

Move 7 to the right side of the equation


10x = 12 - 7 \\ 10x = 5

Divide both sides by 10


(10x)/(10) = (5)/(10) \\

We have the final answer as


x = (1)/(2) \\

Hope this helps you
