how do i solve for x in the following, 7x-5+2x=3-4x+12

Question

anonymous · Answer

move all the x terms to one side .. to the left side for example
you do this by adding 4x to both sides of the equation
what will you get ?

anonymous · Answer

9x-5=-4x+15?

anonymous · Answer

no
 7x-5+2x=3-4x+12 adding 4x to both sides ->
7x +2x+4x -5 = 3+12-4x+4x
13x-5=15

anonymous · Answer

all the terms of x.
9x+4x=20

anonymous · Answer

13x=20
x=20/13

anonymous · Answer

nok thank you. i had that all messed up

anonymous · Answer

now we need to move this '5' to the right side since we want all the x terms at the left sides
.. we do this by adding 5 to both sides of the equation
what we get?

take the variables at one side & constants at one side as$$7x+2x+4x=3+12+5                    .........(By \space Transposition )$$$$13x=20$$by dividing 13 both sides.we have$$\frac{13x}{13}=\frac{20}{13} \implies x=\frac{20}{13}$$
