7x+24-12x=-12
Subtract 12x from both sides.
-5x+24=-12
Combine 7x and -12x to get -5x.
-5x=-12-24
Subtract 24 from both sides.
-5x=-36
Subtract 24 from -12 to get -36.
x=\frac{-36}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=\frac{36}{5}
Fraction \frac{-36}{-5} can be simplified to \frac{36}{5} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
