3x+12=5x-10 Move x on the same side of the equal sign and the sign changes.
3x-5x=-12-10 Move the number to the other side of the equal sign and change the sign.
-2x=-22 x(-1) on both sides of the equal sign.
x=11

Solve for x:
First, apply the "distributive property"
Now subtract 3x from both sides.

Check:
Substitute x = 11.
Simplify.
OK!
