3x + 5 + 2x = 12 + 4x

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we need to combine like terms and isolate the variable.

First, let's combine the x terms on the left side of the equation:

3x + 5 + 2x = 12 + 4x
5x + 5 = 12 + 4x

Next, let's isolate the x term on one side:

5x - 4x = 12 - 5
x = 7

So, the solution to the equation is x = 7.
