3x+12=5x-10
12+10=5x-3x
22=2x
x=22/2=11

Answer 8

okay thanks!

Answer 9

yw:)

Answer 10

exactly what i said ... :)

Answer 11

You will get 3x + 12 = 5x - 10
Subtract 12 from both sides and get 3x = 5x - 22
Then subtract 5x from both sides and get -2x = - 22 and divide by -2
to get x = 11

Answer 12

okay thanks @TheMusician! Can you come help me with my other?

Answer 13

What is the problem?

Answer 14

Solve: -1/2 x + 1 = −x + 8

Answer 15

I would take the 1 and subtract from both sides to get -1/2 x = −x + 7 then add x to both sides to get 1/2 x = 7, then take 1/2 from both sides to get x = 3 and 1/2 or 7/2

Answer 16
