Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 3x = 12-4

4x = 8

x = 2....

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of x is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$5x+4=3x+12$

To find:- The value of x,

To solve this, we have to use the transposition method:  

As we have,

=> $5x+4=3x+12$

Subtract both sides by $4$, we get

=> $5x+4-4=3x+12-4$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $5x=3x+8$

Subtract $3x$ from both sides,

=> $5x-3x=3x+8-3x$

=> $2x = 8$

Divide both sides by $2$,

=> $x = 4$

Hence, the required solution is 4.
