To solve for x, first we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
12x + 5 = 10x - 11
Subtract 10x from both sides:
2x + 5 = -11
Subtract 5 from both sides:
2x = -16
Divide by 2:
x = -8
Therefore, the solution is x = -8.

Let's try solving it again:
12x + 5 = 10x - 11
First, let's get all the terms with x on one side:
12x - 10x = -11 - 5
2x = -16
Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
x = -8
Therefore, the correct solution is x = -8.
12x + 5 = 10x - 11
First, let's get all the terms with x on one side:
12x - 10x = -11 - 5
2x = -16
Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
x = -8
Therefore, the correct solution is x = -8.
the answer is not -8
Apologies for the error. Let's solve the equation 12x + 5 = 10x - 11 step by step:
12x + 5 = 10x - 11
Subtract 10x from both sides:
12x - 10x + 5 = 10x - 10x - 11
2x + 5 = -11
Subtract 5 from both sides:
2x + 5 - 5 = -11 - 5
2x = -16
Divide by 2:
2x / 2 = -16 / 2
x = -8
Therefore, the correct solution is x = -8.
12x + 5 = 10x - 11
Subtract 10x from both sides:
12x - 10x + 5 = 10x - 10x - 11
2x + 5 = -11
Subtract 5 from both sides:
2x + 5 - 5 = -11 - 5
2x = -16
Divide by 2:
2x / 2 = -16 / 2
x = -8
Therefore, the correct solution is x = -8.
