We we are asked to solve this kind of problem we are asked to find the value of the value (x in this case). So the first thing we want to do isolate x by subtracting 5/12 from both sides.

x+5/12-5/12=5/8-5/12

Simplify

x=5/8-5/12

Reduce

x=3/3(5/8)-2/2(5/12)

x=15/24-10/24

x=5/24

Can each pencil have a mass of 10.5 grams in a pack of 5 pencils weighing 60 to 95 grams?

I don't know if I'm right, but if each pencil is 10.5 grams then you multiply it by 5 ( number of pencils) and you get 52.5, which would not meet the standards of a pack weighing 60 to 95 grams.
