To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
First, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms:
12x + 5 = 10x - 11
We can subtract 10x from both sides to get:
2x + 5 = -11
Next, we can subtract 5 from both sides:
2x = -16
Finally, we can divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
x = -8
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -8.
Solve for x
12x + 5 = 10x − 11
