The equivalence of the equation is 5x + 48 = 5x + 3.
Since 48 cannot be equal to 3, hence there are no solution.
<h3>What is the value of x?</h3>
Given the equation; x-4[ x - 2( x + 6) ] = 5x + 3
We remove the parentheses
x-4[ x - 2( x + 6) ] = 5x + 3
x-4[ x - 2x - 12 ] = 5x + 3
x - 4x + 8x + 48 = 5x + 3
5x + 48 = 5x + 3
We can go further and collect like terms
5x - 5x + 48 = 3
48 ≠ 3
Since 48 cannot be equal to 3, hence there are no solution.

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
16k²= 49k²-168k +144
33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32
