Solve 12(x-3)+5=3x-4

Evaluate

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

Move the expression to the left side

12 (x - 3) + 5 - (3 x - 4) = 0

Calculate the sum or difference

More Steps

12 (x - 3) + 9 - 3 x = 0

Calculate the sum or difference

More Steps

9 x - 27 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

9 x = 0 + 27

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

9 x = 27

Divide both sides

\frac{9 x}{9} = \frac{27}{9}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{27}{9}
