9x-12=5x%2B20 Start with the given equation.


9x=5x%2B20%2B12 Add 12 to both sides.


9x-5x=20%2B12 Subtract 5x from both sides.


4x=20%2B12 Combine like terms on the left side.


4x=32 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2832%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.


x=8 Reduce.
