To solve this equation from the information given above, I ordered it 5x+12=8x. To solve, I subtracted 5x from each side, canceling the 5x to your left, leaving only the number 12. 8x minus 5x equals 3x. Take 3x and divide on both sides. 3x/3x cancels the 3, leaving 12/3 equals 4. Finally, x equals 4.

Answer:
3500 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
The Greenpoint factory produced 2/5 of the bricks that the Consolidate Brick Company produced in 1991.
Let the amount of bricks produced by the Greenpoint factory be g and the amount of bricks produced by the Consolidated brick company be c.
Therefore:
g = 2/5 * c = 2c/5
That year, the Greenpoint factory produced 1400 tons of bricks. This implies that:
1400 = 2c/5
To find the amount that the Consolidated Brick Company produced, solve for c:
1400 = 2c/5
1400 * 5 = 2c
7000 = 2c
c = 7000 / 2 = 3500 tons
The Consolidated Brick Company had a total production output of 3500 tons in 1991.
