x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5x + 6 = 8x + -12

Reorder the terms:

6 + 5x = 8x + -12

Reorder the terms:

6 + 5x = -12 + 8x

Solving

6 + 5x = -12 + 8x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8x' to each side of the equation.

6 + 5x + -8x = -12 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 5x + -8x = -3x

6 + -3x = -12 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0

6 + -3x = -12 + 0

6 + -3x = -12

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + -3x = -12 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + -3x = -12 + -6

-3x = -12 + -6

Combine like terms: -12 + -6 = -18

-3x = -18

Divide each side by '-3'.

x = 6

Simplifying

x = 6
