Question 385277
{{{5x-3=11+12x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5x=11+12x+3}}} Add {{{3}}} to both sides.



{{{5x-12x=11+3}}} Subtract {{{12x}}} from both sides.



{{{-7x=11+3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-7x=14}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(14)/(-7)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-7}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-2}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-2}}}
