8-12x+5-2x=2\left(7-5x\right)-12x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 4,2.
13-12x-2x=2\left(7-5x\right)-12x
Add 8 and 5 to get 13.
13-14x=2\left(7-5x\right)-12x
Combine -12x and -2x to get -14x.
13-14x=14-10x-12x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 7-5x.
13-14x=14-22x
Combine -10x and -12x to get -22x.
13-14x+22x=14
Add 22x to both sides.
13+8x=14
Combine -14x and 22x to get 8x.
8x=14-13
Subtract 13 from both sides.
8x=1
Subtract 13 from 14 to get 1.
x=\frac{1}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
