To solve this equation, we will first simplify by distributing the division operation:
X + 13 - (7x - 12)/3 = 5
Next, we will distribute the negative sign:
X + 13 - 7x/3 + 12/3 = 5
Simplify further:
X + 13 - 7x/3 + 4 = 5
Now, combine like terms:
X + 17 - 7x/3 = 5
Subtract 17 from both sides:
X - 7x/3 = -12
To eliminate the fraction, multiply through by 3:
3(X) - 7x = -36
3X - 7x = -36
Combine like terms:
-4X = -36
Divide by -4:
X = 9
Therefore, the solution to the equation is X = 9.
