Question 641112
{{{9+4x-12=-3x+5x+8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4x-3=-3x+5x+8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4x-3=2x+8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{4x=2x+8+3}}} Add {{{3}}} to both sides.



{{{4x-2x=8+3}}} Subtract {{{2x}}} from both sides.



{{{2x=8+3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



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



{{{x=(11)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.
