The solution of 12x + 5 = 5 is x = 0.

Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 12x + 5 and y = 5 meet at x = 0-6-4-2246-80-60-40-2020406080x = 0y = 12x + 5y = 5
The lines y = 12x + 5 and y = 5 meet at x = 0. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    12x+5=512x + 5 = 5
  2. 2

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    12x+5−5=5−5 ⇒ 12x=012x + 5 - 5 = 5 - 5 \ \Rightarrow\ 12x = 0
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 12:

    12x12=012 ⇒ x=0\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{0}{12} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 0
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 0 back into the equation.
