Answer:

x = 18

Explanation:

1) To eliminate 6 from one of the sides, subtract 6 on both sides.

6 - 6 = 0

12 - 6= 6

2) 1/3x = 6

In order to get rid of the denominator multiply both sides by 3, this will help eliminate the denominator.

1/3 * 3 = 1

6 * 3 = 18

3) 1x = 18

Divide both sides by one in order to get rid of the coefficient and thus leaving you with the answer.

1x/1 = x

18/1 = 18

To conclude, the answer for the 2 step equation is x = 18
