5x+2\left(4x-12\right)=7x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 2,5,10.
5x+8x-24=7x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 4x-12.
13x-24=7x
Combine 5x and 8x to get 13x.
13x-24-7x=0
Subtract 7x from both sides.
6x-24=0
Combine 13x and -7x to get 6x.
6x=24
Add 24 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{24}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=4
Divide 24 by 6 to get 4.
