In this equation x=18
Work Shown:
5x-12=3x+24
Add 12 to both sides
5x-12+12=3x+24+12
Simplify
5x=3x+36
Subtract 3x from both sides
5x-3x=3x+36-3x
2x=36
Divide both sides by two
2x/2 = 36/2
x=18
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Add 12 to both sides
5x-12 +12 = 3x+24 +12
2. Simplify
3. Subtract -3x from both sides
4. Simplify
5. Divide both sides by same factor (2)
2x/2=36/2
6. Simplify
ANSWER: x=18
