    Let's start by just simplifying the equation.

    3x+5+2x=12+4x becomes 5x+5=12+4x

    Now, we want all our X's on one side of the equation. We accomplish this by substracting the smaller x value from the larger x value.

    5x-4x=x

    x+5=12

    Finally, we make sure the x is by itself

    12-5 = 7

    x=7
