Answer:
x= -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange terms: 12-8x=-5x-5x
-8x+12=-5x-5x
Combine like terms: -8x+12=-5x-5x
-8x+12=-10x
Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation
-8x+12=-10x
−8+12−12=−10−12
then
Simplify
Add
to both sides of the equation
Simplify
Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
