Question 677315
{{{5x-3=x-12}}} Start with the given equation.



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



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



{{{4x=-12+3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4x=-9}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-9)/(4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{4}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-9/4}}}
