This is very basic and perhsps that is why no one is even touching this prolem. U should take the terms of x on one side ( & i hope u know that u need to change the signs wen u do so) and then solve for x
in this case -7A + 12A = 65
5A = 65
thus A = 13
But u really need specific lessons for upgrading ur knowledge
