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]
