Answer:
x = 14.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides
7x − 12 - 5x = 5x + 17 - 5x
2x - 12 = 17
Step 2: Add 12 to both sides
2x - 12 + 12 = 17 + 12
2x = 29
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2
2x / 2 = 29 / 2
x = 14.5
Answer: x = 14.5
Answer:
[tex]x=14.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is :
[tex]7x- 12 = 5x + 17[/tex]
Taking the terms of 'x' to one side and the constants terms to the other side.
Subtracting '[tex]5x[/tex]' both the sides
[tex]7x-12-5x=5x+17-5x\\\\7x-5x-12=17\\\\2x-12=17[/tex]
Adding '12' both the sides
[tex]2x-12+12=17+12\\\\2x=29\\\\x=29/2[/tex]
[tex]x=14.5[/tex]
