To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x by moving the constant terms to one side of the equation and the variable terms to the other side.

Start with the equation:
5x + 12 = x + 9

Subtract x from both sides to move the variable terms:
5x - x + 12 = x - x + 9
4x + 12 = 9

Subtract 12 from both sides to move the constant terms:
4x + 12 - 12 = 9 - 12
4x = -3

Finally, divide both sides by 4 to solve for x:
4x/4 = -3/4
x = -3/4

Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the equation correctly:

To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x by moving the constant term to the other side of the equation.

Start with the equation:
5x + 12 = x + 9

Subtract x from both sides to move the variable terms:
5x - x + 12 = x - x + 9
4x + 12 = 9

Now, subtract 12 from both sides:
4x + 12 - 12 = 9 - 12
4x = -3

Finally, divide both sides by 4 to solve for x:
4x/4 = -3/4
x = -3/4
