Answer 2

Answer: The value of x = 12.

Explanation:

The given equation :
`4x=5x–12`

To solve the above equation, first we subtract 4x from both the sides , we get

`4x-4x=5x-12-4x\\\\`

Simplify ,

`\Rightarrow\ 0=x-12`

Now, we add 12 on the both sides of the equation, we get

`0+12=x-12+12`

Simplify , we get

`12=x`

OR

`x=12`

∴ The value of x = 12.
