Answer:
[tex]x=0[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A) From this case you would need to narrow down the whole equation...
Like this: [tex]5+x-12=2x-7[/tex] → [tex]x-7=2x-7[/tex] → [tex]x=0[/tex]
B) To prove that one of these numbers solve the equation, we would have to check it ourselves.
Like this: [tex]5+(-0.5)-12=2(-0.5)-7[/tex] → [tex]-7.5=-8[/tex] (SO THIS WON'T WORK)
[tex]5+0-12=2*0-7[/tex] → [tex]0=0[/tex] (THIS WORKS!)
[tex]5+1-12=2(1)-7[/tex] → [tex]-6=-5[/tex] (NOR DOES THIS WORK)
Therefore: [tex]x=0[/tex] will work to solve the equation correctly
