3 + 5x = 20 + 7x

First subtract 20 to both sides

-17 + 5x = 7x

Next subtract 5x to both sides (we are trying to get x all in one side)

-17 = 2x

Divide 2 to isolate the x

-17/2 = x or -8.5 = x

First, you would combine like terms so you would - 5x from both sides and you should end up with 3=20+2x and then you would - 20 from both sides which would lead you with -17 = 2x and then you divide both sides by 2 and the answer should be...

8.5=x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The starting equation is

12-(3x+13)=0

First add 3x+13 to both sides so that only 12 is on the left

12=3x+13

now subtract 13 from both sides to isolate your variable

-1=3x

Finally divide both sides by 3 to get your final answer
