Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
3x + 25 - x = 5x + 12
Step 1: Combine like terms and solve in the LHS.
⇒ 3x + 25 - x = 5x + 12
⇒ 3x - x + 25 = 5x + 12
⇒ 2x + 25 = 5x + 12
Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.
⇒ 2x + 25 - 2x = 5x + 12 - 2x
⇒ 2x - 2x + 25 = 5x - 2x + 12
⇒ 25 = 3x + 12
Step 3: Flip the equation.
⇒ 25 = 3x + 12
⇒ 3x + 12 = 25
Step 4: Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.
⇒ 3x + 12 - 12 = 25 - 12
⇒ 3x = 13
Step 5: Divide 3 from both sides of the equation.
