Simplifying 2x + 5 + - 3x = 12 Reorder the terms: 5 + 2x + - 3x = 12 Combine like terms: 2x + - 3x = - 1x 5 + - 1x = 12 Solving 5 + - 1x = 12 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5' to each side of the equation. 5 + - 5 + - 1x = 12 + - 5
Combine like terms: 5 + - 5 = 0 0 + - 1x = 12 + - 5 - 1x = 12 + - 5
Combine like terms: 12 + - 5 = 7 - 1x = 7
Divide each side by '-1'. x = - 7
Simplifying x = - 7

By rearranging your terms!
1) First, remove the parentheses.
2x+5+3x-12
2) Next rearrange like terms together
2x+3x+5 + (-12)
3) Now combine like terms!
2x+3x = 5x
5 + (-12) = - 7
4) Final answer: 5x + (-7)
