For this case we have the following equation:
[tex]x + 12 = 17[/tex]
If we subtract 12 from both sides of the equation we have:
[tex]x + 12-12 = 17-12\\x = 17-12[/tex]
Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.
[tex]x = 5[/tex]
Thus, the solution of the equation is[tex]x = 5[/tex]
Answer:
The solution of the equation is[tex]x = 5[/tex]
