To solve the equation, we need to simplify both sides by combining like terms.
On the left side of the equation, we have: (2X + 3) + (3X + 4) + (5X + 5)
First, we combine the X terms: 2X + 3X + 5X = 10X
Then, we combine the constant terms: 3 + 4 + 5 = 12
So the left side simplifies to: 10X + 12
Now let's simplify the right side of the equation: 12 - 7X
Since there are no like terms, the right side remains as it is.
Now our equation is: 10X + 12 = 12 - 7X
Next, we want to isolate the X term on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 7X to both sides of the equation:
10X + 7X + 12 = 12 - 7X + 7X
Simplifying, we get: 17X + 12 = 12
Now, we want to isolate the constant term on the opposite side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation:
17X + 12 - 12 = 12 - 12
Simplifying, we get: 17X = 0
Finally, we solve for X by dividing both sides of the equation by 17:
(17X)/17 = 0/17
Simplifying, we get: X = 0
Therefore, the solution to the equation is X = 0.
