[tex]x = 8[/tex]
[tex]12(x - 1) = 2(5x + 2) \\ first \: you \: need \: to \: distribute \\ \\ 12x - 12 = 10x + 4 \\ subtract \: 10x \: from \: both \: sides \\ \\ 2x - 12 = 4 \\ add \: 12 \: from \: both \: sides \\ \\ 2x = 16 \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 2 \\ \\ x = 8[/tex]
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
12x-12=10x+4
then solve that for x
