See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, combine like terms on each side of the equation:

#(10 - 6)x + (-4 - 1) = (7 - 12) + (2 + 2)x#

#4x + (-5) = -5 + 4x#

#4x - 5 = -5 + 4x#

#-5 + 4x = -5 + 4x#

Because both sides of the equation are true this equation is true for any value of #x#. Therefore the solution set to this problem is the set of all Real Numbers: #{RR}#
