Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:  x = 1

Discussion :

Per the author, the equation to solve is  12 = 5x + 7

Isolate the "x" variable by subtracting 7 from both sides of the equation:

12 = 5x + 7

-7 =        -7

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

12-7 = 5x + 0


or


5 = 5x

Dividing both sides by 5 gives x - 1
