    x is one of the numbers

    Since one number is 5 times the other, so it is 5x

    And it is the sum, so the sign between 5x and x is plus

    The equation of this question is 5x+x=12

    5x and x are liketerms, so you combine them and get 6x.

    Now the equation became 6x=12

    So you divide 6 to both side and get x=2
