The solution

You have entered [src]
3*x + -x + 8 = 12
$$3 x + \left(8 - x\right) = 12$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
3*x-(x-8) = 12

Expand brackets in the left part
3*x-x+8 = 12

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
8 + 2*x = 12

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = 4$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 2
x = 4 / (2)

We get the answer: x = 2
