solve for ( x ):
( 12x - 8 = 7x + 32 )

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract \(7x\) from both sides

\(12x - 7x - 8 = 7x - 7x + 32\)
\(5x - 8 = 32\)

Step2: Add 8 to both sides

\(5x - 8 + 8 = 32 + 8\)
\(5x = 40\)

Step3: Divide both sides by 5

\(\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{40}{5}\)
\(x = 8\)

Answer:

\(x = 8\)
