9%2B4x-12=-3x%2B5x%2B8 Start with the given equation.


4x-3=-3x%2B5x%2B8 Combine like terms on the left side.


4x-3=2x%2B8 Combine like terms on the right side.


4x=2x%2B8%2B3 Add 3 to both sides.


4x-2x=8%2B3 Subtract 2x from both sides.


2x=8%2B3 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x=11 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2811%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.
