Answer: There is one solution to the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the number of solutions to the following equation :


12x+6=5x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

Since the given equation is linear in one variable x, so it will have only one solution.

The solution of equation (i) is given by


12x+6=5x\\\\\Rightarrow 12x-5x=-6\\\\\Rightarrow 7x=-6\\\\\Rightarrow x=-(6)/(7).

Thus, there is one solution to the given equation.
