4x + 12 - 10x - 8 = 8x - 24 + 5x
Combine like terms:
-6x + 4 = 13x - 24
Add 6x to both sides:
4 = 19x - 24
Add 24 to both sides:
28 = 19x
Divide by 19 on both sides:
x = 28/19
4x + 12 - 10x - 8 = 8x - 24 + 5x
Combine like terms:
-6x + 4 = 13x - 24
Add 6x to both sides:
4 = 19x - 24
Add 24 to both sides:
28 = 19x
Divide by 19 on both sides:
x = 28/19
