Answer:
im pretty sure its x = -6
Explanation:
Reorder the terms:
-12 + 3x = 5x
Solving
-12 + 3x = 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 3x + -5x = 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 3x + -5x = -2x
-12 + -2x = 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
-12 + -2x = 0
Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + -2x = 0 + 12
Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + -2x = 0 + 12
-2x = 0 + 12
Combine like terms: 0 + 12 = 12
-2x = 12
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -6
Simplifying
x = -6
