2\times 5+5=12x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x, the least common multiple of x,2x.
10+5=12x
Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.
15=12x
Add 10 and 5 to get 15.
12x=15
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{15}{12}
Divide both sides by 12.
x=\frac{5}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{15}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
