5=9x+26-12x
Combine 7x and 2x to get 9x.
5=-3x+26
Combine 9x and -12x to get -3x.
-3x+26=5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-3x=5-26
Subtract 26 from both sides.
-3x=-21
Subtract 26 from 5 to get -21.
x=\frac{-21}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=7
Divide -21 by -3 to get 7.
