@gatey so do you only want the answer or do you actually want to understand the problem?

anonymous · Answer

can i have both please and thank you

anonymous · Answer

12x-8=5x+13 that is the first step you need to do set them equal to eachother. 
then you need to subtract 5x from 12x getting the equation
7x-8=13 
then you add the 8 to the 13 and get the equation 
7x=21 divide by 7x 
making x=3

anonymous · Answer

got it ?

anonymous · Answer

YES!! i made a mistake by plugging 3 into the 12x-8 equation when i shouldn't have. thank you
