Solve for x.
5x - 4 = -3x+ 12
X = 2
X=6
X=-4

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5x - 4 = - 3x + 12 ( add 3x to both sides )

8x - 4 = 12 ( add 4 to both sides )

8x = 16 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

compare

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
