Answer:

x = 1/2

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ 12 × x = 16 × x - 2

Now the value of x will be,

→ 12 × x = 16 × x - 2

→ 12x = 16x - 2

→ 12x - 16x = -2

→ -4x = -2

→ x = -2/-4

→ [ x = 1/2 ]

Hence, the value of x is 1/2.

12(x) = 16(x) - 2 \\ 2x - 1 = 0 \\ 2x + 1 = 3x \\ 0 + 1 = 1 \\ 2x = 1 \\ (2x)/(2) = 1 \\ (2)/(1) = 2 \\ Answer: x = (1)/(2)
