12x= 20

divide by 12 for both sides

12x/12= 20/12

cross out 12 and 12, divide by 12 and then becomes x

x= 20/12

Reduce the fraction by 4 for 20/12

20/4= 5

12/4=3

Answer: x= 5/3 and x= 1 2/3

12x=20

x=0.6

The answer to that equation is 0.6. Which I don't think you are looking for? So you may have made a mistake in the equation.

If you meant to say 2x = 20, the answer would be 10.
