Assuming that x is the same value in each equation, 3x+5 will be 12 more than 3x-7.

In order to determine the difference between the two values, you ignore the 3x part, because it is the same on both of the equations, and then you count up from -7 to 0, which is 7, and then count from 0 to 5, which is 5; 7+5=12.

I guess you could look at it like this.

say x=0 then 3x-7 = -7 and 3x+5 = 5

the abs value of -7 is 7 and the abs value of +5 is 5 then the abs value of 3x-7 is 2 greater then the abs value of 3x+5.

I think of it like weight which is heavier…. 7>5

just one way of looking at it

12. Disregard the 3x and work out the difference between -7 and 5 (12)
