Let's solve the problem given to us today! The problem is the following:

`\mapsto\quad\bf{5x-6=12-x}`

We need to solve for x. We'll do it by isolating x on one sideo the equation.

Start by adding 6 to both sides:

• 
  `\bf{5x=12-x+6}`
• 
  `\bf{5x=18-x}`

Then, add x to both sides:

• 
  `\bf{6x=18}`

Finally, divide both sides by 6:

• 
  `\bf{x=3}`

Therefore, x = 3.
