11.a) Follow these steps to solve 12x + 5 = 2x

Subtract 12x from both sides of the equation, simplify both sides, divide both sides by -10, and then simplify.

b. Now solve the same question again, but this time isolate the variable x on the other side of the equation. Write the appropriate steps that you used, similar to what is shown above.
