1 answer

To solve the equation \( 4x = 5x - 12 \), you can follow these steps:

  1. Subtract \( 5x \) from both sides to get all the \( x \) terms on one side: \[ 4x - 5x = -12 \]

  2. This simplifies to: \[ -x = -12 \]

  3. To solve for \( x \), multiply both sides by -1: \[ x = 12 \]

Thus, the value of \( x \) is \( \boxed{12} \).
