Answer:

x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we want to distribute 0.5 on 5x and -8

so we are going to divide by 2

1.5x + 12 = 2.5x -4

now we want to put the variables on one side and the numbers on the other side of the equal sign

and to

1.5x +12 = 2.5x -4

        -12             -12

1.5x = 2.5x - 16

now we want to move the variable that is on the right to the left side

1.5x = 2.5x - 16

-2.5x  -2.5x

-x = -16

change the signs and the answer is

<u>x=16</u>

<u />

<u>EXTRA STEP </u>

you have to make sure that your answer is correct so just plug in x and the answers on both sides of the equation must be equal
