Step-by-step explanation:
Can you put an photo up like what is it from on edge?
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
