Answer :
Step-by-step explanation:
=>first combine the like terms
5x-8x+12=24
-3x+12=24
=>substruct 12 from 12 and 24
-3x+12-12=24-12
-3x=12
=>divide -3 from both side
-3x/3=12/-3
=-4
Answer is x = 12 :)
Operations you're supposed to do in order to solve this equation are:
1. Combine like terms
2. Subtract 12 from both sides
3. Simplify
4. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
5. Simplify.
