To solve for x, first we need to get all x terms on one side of the equation by adding or subtracting.
12x + 5 = 10x - 11
Subtract 10x from both sides:
12x + 5 - 10x = 10x - 11 - 10x
2x + 5 = -11
Next, subtract 5 from both sides:
2x + 5 - 5 = -11 - 5
2x = -16
Lastly, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
2x / 2 = -16 / 2
x = -8
Therefore, x = -8.
Solve for x : 12x+5=10x−11 .(
