Solution

Step 1: Simplifying $18 - (2 x - 12) = 8 x$
$18 - (2 x - 12) = 8 x 18 - 2 x + 12 = 8 x 30 - 2 x = 8 x$
Simplified form $30 - 2 x = 8 x$
Step 2: Solve $30 - 2 x = 8 x$
$30 - 2 x = 8 x 30 = 8 x + 2 x 30 = 10 x \frac{30}{10} = x 3 = x$
So, the value of $x = 3$

$4 x + 2 x = 13 + 5$

\frac{x^{2} + 12 x + 20}{3 x - 5} = \frac{x^{2} + 8 x + 12}{2 x + 3}

x^{2} - 4 x + 6 = \sqrt{2 x^{2} - 8 x + 12}

\frac{x^{2} - 12 x - 20}{3 x - 5} = \frac{x^{2} + 8 x + 12}{2 x + 3}

x^{4} + 2 x^{3} - 7 x^{2} - 8 x + 12 = 0
