Solve: 5x-3=11+12x; 17x-3=11; 17x-3+3=11+3= 17x=14; x= 14/17 is this right?

Yes, this is correct. To solve this equation, you first need to get the "x" term on its own side. This is done by adding 3 to both sides (to cancel out the -3 on the left side). Then, you need to move the 11 to the other side. This is done by subtracting 11 from both sides. Finally, you can divide both sides by 17 in order to solve for "x". Doing so results in x = 14/17.
