Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 5x + 12 and y = 12 meet at x = 0-6-4-2246-20-1010203040x = 0y = 5x + 12y = 12
The lines y = 5x + 12 and y = 12 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.

    5x+12=125x + 12 = 12
  2. 2

    Subtract 12 from both sides:

    5x+12−12=12−12 ⇒ 5x=05x + 12 - 12 = 12 - 12 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 0
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=05 ⇒ x=0\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{0}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 0
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 0 back into the equation.
