Hi
Welcome to openstudy :-) 
How would you approach this problem?  Where would you start?

anonymous · Answer

No I don't think so.. It just says solve in the math book XD

anonymous · Answer

I think you would start by adding both X's together?

pooja195 · Answer

Correct but let's subtract instead
:) 
12-9=?

anonymous · Answer

Or wait.. Subtract the 9x from 12x and the rest is your answer?

pooja195 · Answer

Nope there's more
what is 12-9?

anonymous · Answer

3

pooja195 · Answer

Good
now we have
3x=7
any ideas on what should be done next?

anonymous · Answer

Divide the 3x by 7

pooja195 · Answer

Yes :) 
3x/3=7/3
solve for x

pooja195 · Answer

Don't over think it
