6x-8-3x%2B5=7x-12%2B9 Start with the given equation.


3x-3=7x-12%2B9 Combine like terms on the left side.


3x-3=7x-3 Combine like terms on the right side.


3x=7x-3%2B3 Add 3 to both sides.


3x-7x=-3%2B3 Subtract 7x from both sides.


-4x=-3%2B3 Combine like terms on the left side.


-4x=0 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%280%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x.


x=0 Reduce.
