Question

$3x - 2 = 5x - 12$
​

Answer 1

3x - 2 = 5x - 12

3x - 5x = - 12 + 2

- 2x = - 10

x = 10/2

x = 5 ➡ Answer

Answer 2

$\sf 3x - 2 = 5x -12 \\\\\ \implies{\sf = 3x - 5x = -12+2} \\\\\ \implies{\sf = -2x = -10} \\\\\ \implies{\sf = 2x = 10} \\\\\ \implies{\sf = x = \frac {10}{2}} \\\\\ \implies{\sf = x = 5}$
