Question

How do you solve `8x = 5x + 12`?

Answer 1

`x = 4`

Explanation:

Combine like terms and then isolate to solve for the value of `x`.

`3x = 12`

`x = 4`

Answer 2

the answer is `x=4`

Explanation:

you have two `x` so you have to make it one. you have to subtract `5x` from `8x` and not the other way b/c you will be left with nothing if you do `5x-8x` so i got `3x=12` now you divide `3` from both sides and you get `4`
