Answer:
x = 1.6 or [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
12x - 11 = 2x + 5
Add 11 to both sides,
12x - 11 + 11 = 2x + 5 + 11
12x = 2x + 16
Subtract 2x from both sides,
12x -2x = 2x - 2x + 16
10x = 16
Divide both sides by the same factor (in this cas the factor is 10),
[tex]\frac{10x}{10} =\frac{16}{10}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{8}{5}[/tex]
x = 1.6 or [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex]
