    -5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    What you do to one side of the equation, you do to the other side of the equations.

    If you add - 5 to the left side of the equation, you add - 5 to the right side of the equation.

    5 + x = 12

    -5 + 5 + x = 12-5

    x = 7

    5+x=12-5

    x=2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Add 5 to both sides of the equation

    The equation becomes 10+x=12

    Then subtract 10 from both sides of the equation

    The equation becomes x=2

    And now that x is by itself, you've gotten your answer
