Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5 = 3x -12 + 5
x + 5 = 3x - 7
Subtract 5 from both sides....
x + 5-5 = 3x -7 - 5
x = 3x - 12
Change the sign ...
12 = 3x - x
12 = 2x
12/2 = x
x = 6
hence 6 is the answer.......

First , use the Distributive Property :
x+5=3(x-4)+5
x+5=3x-12+5
x+5=3x-7
subtract 3x on both sides :
x-3x+5=-7
-2x+5=-7
Subtract 5 on both sides :
-2x=-7-5
-2x=-12
divide by -2 on both sides :
x=6
We've found the value of x : x = 6 .
