Solve for x by getting x by itself.
12x+5=10x+19 Subtract 10x from both sides
-10x -10x
2x+5=19 Subtract 5 from both sides.
-5 -5
2x=14 Divide by 2 on both sides.
/2 /2
x=7.

Hi,

12x+5=10x+19

Solving for x by performing operations on both sides of the equation to isolate x

12x+5=10x+19

12x -10x +5 = 10x -10x +19

2x +5 = 19

2x +5 -5 = 19 - 5

2x = 14

%282x%2F2%29+=+%2814%2F2%29

x = 7
