Answer:
[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \huge{\boxed{ \sf{x = 2}}}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \sf{5x - 4 = - 3x + 12}[/tex]
Move 3x to left hand side and change it's sign
⇒[tex] \sf{5x + 3x - 4 = 12}[/tex]
Move 4 to right hand side and change it's sign
⇒[tex] \sf{5x + 3x = 12 + 4}[/tex]
Collect like terms
⇒[tex] \sf{8x = 12 + 4}[/tex]
Add the numbers
⇒[tex] \sf{8x = 16}[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by 8
⇒[tex] \sf{ \frac{8x}{8} = \frac{16}{8} }[/tex]
Calculate
⇒[tex] \sf{x = 2}[/tex]
Hope I helped!
