Step 1
An equation is defined when two expressions are provided to be equal. The two expressions are on either side of the equality.
Hence,
The given problem 12(3x+1)43(x+2)=5 is an equation.
Step 2
On solving the given equation, we get
12(3x+1)43(x+2)=5
3(3x+1)8(x+2)6=5
9x+38x166=5
x136=5
x-13=30
x=30+13
x=43
Therefore, the value of x is 43.
