    x = 17

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 (x - 4) - 12 = 2 (x - 6) + 5

    3x - 12 - 12 = 2x - 12 + 5

    3x - 24 = 2x - 7

    3x - 2x = - 7 + 24

    x = 17

    x=17

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 (x - 4) - 12 = 2 (x - 6) + 5

    Distribute

    3x - 12 - 12 = 2x-12 + 5

    Combine like terms

    3x-24 = 2x - 7

    Subtract 2x from each side

    3x-2x - 24 = 2x-2x-7

    x-24 = - 7

    Add 24 from each side

    x-24+24 = - 7+24

    x = 17
