Answer:

x = -1/4

Explanation:

(6x+1) x 6 = 12x Cross multiply

36x + 6 = 12x

36x + 6 - 6 = 12x - 6 Subtract -6 from both sides

36x = 12x - 6

36x - 12x = 12x - 12x -6 Subtract 12x from both sides to get only one number with x

24x = -6

24x/24 = -6/24 Divide both sides by 24 to get x alone

x = -1/4

x=-1/4 or -0.25 or -2^-2.
solve: 6(6x+1)=12x
36x+6=12x
36x-12x=-6
24x=-6
then divide both sides. hope this helps
