Answer:
- 15x - 7 = 2 + 12x
Move 12x to L.H.S ( Left Hand Side ) and change it's sign
➛
Move 7 to R.H.S ( Right Hand Side) and change it's sign
➛
Subtract 12x from 15x
Remember that only coefficients of like terms can be added or subtracted.
➛
Add the numbers : 2 and 7
➛
Divide both sides by 3

☄ Now, let's check whether the value of x is 3 or not!
<h3>☥ Verification :</h3>L.H.S = R.H.S ( Hence , the value of x is 3 ).

<h3>✒ Rules for solving an equation :</h3>- If an equation contains fractions ,multiply each term by the L.C.M of denominators.
- Remove the brackets , if any.
- Collect the terms with the variable to the left hand side and constant terms to the right hand side by changing their sign ' + ' into ' - ' and ' - ' into ' + ' .
- Simplify and get the single term on each side.
- Divide each side by the coefficient of variable and then get the value of variable.
Hope I helped!
Have a wonderful time ! ツ
