What is 7x+2=12+5x

I have no idea

X = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+2=12+5x

7x - 5x = 12 - 2

2x = 10

X = 10/2

X = 5

7x+2=12+5x

move 5x to the other side

sign changes from + 5x to - 5x

7x-5x+2=12+5x-5x

7x-5x+2=12

2x+2=12

move 2 to the other side

2x+2-2=12-2

2x=12-2

2x=10

divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself

2x/2=10/2

Answer:

x=5
