Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

6*(x-2)-(2*(x+12))=0

Step by step solution :

STEP

1

:

Equation at the end of step 1

(6 • (x - 2)) - 2 • (x + 12) = 0

STEP

:

Equations which are never true:

5.1 Solve : 4 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

5.2 Solve : x-9 = 0

Add 9 to both sides of the equation :

x = 9

One solution was found :

x = 9
