Answer:

No Solutions

Explanation:

First, let's simplify the equation:

Solve:

  • 6x - 3x - 7 = x + 2x - 12
  • 3x - 7 = 3x - 12
  • -7 = -12

See what happened! -7 does not equal -12, so this equation has no solutions

Another way:

  • 6x - 3x - 7 = x + 3x - 12
  • 3x - 7 = 3x - 12
  • 3x + 5 = 3x
  • 5 = 0
