There is actually 2 ways to solve this, I will show you both.
The first is obvious, solve for x in the first one, and plug it into the 2nd one and get the answer
4x + 7 = 12
4x = 5
x = 
8() + 3
2 * 5 + 3
10 + 3
13
The 2nd option is to manipulate the 4x + 7 to be 8x + 3
4x + 7 = 12
start by moving the 7 over
4x = 5
multiply both sides by 2
8x = 10
and add 3 to both sides
8x + 3 = 13

Answer: jackson is 12
explanation:
let the age be represented by x
jackson is 2 times older than shelly so
2x is jackson’s age and x is shelly’s age
since the sum of their ages is 18 then:
2x + x = 18
solve:
3x = 18 ➔ divide by 3 on both sides
x = 6
so now we know shelly is 6
jackson is 2 times older than her so:
2(6) = 12
