Answer 1

$\mathbb{ELLO \ THERE!}$

---------------------------

Pre-Requisite Knowledge

• When in an equation, a number with a +ve sign goes to the other side of the equal symbol, the number becomes -ve.
• EG: 12 + x = 1 when shifting happens, it results to x = 1 - 12
• When in an equation, a number with a -ve sign goes to the other side of the equal symbol, the number becomes +ve.
• EG: -12 + x = 1 when shifting happens, it results to x = 1 + 12
• When in an equation there is a fraction, the denominator goes to other side and multiplies.
• EG: x/12 + 2 = 1, when it shifts happen, it results to x + 2 = 1 × 12
• Then its vice-versa with multiplication.

-------------------------

$\large\boxed{\mathbb{ANSWER}}$

2(x + 5) = 12 - 3x

2x + 10 = 12 - 3x

2x + 3x = 12 - 10

       5x = 2

       x = $\frac{2}{5}$
