So we have a simple equation: 7-3x=12

To solve this equation and find the unknown value of X, we can put the X-s on one side of the equation and the numbers on the other side. When the numbers and X-s will switch sides, the sign will be reversed, from + to - and vice versa.

-3x=12-7

-3x=5

Divide both sides with -3.

3x/(-3) = 5/(-3)

x= -(5/3)
