Answer:
x = 3
Explanation:
1) Combine like terms
6 - 2x = 5x - 9x + 12
6 - 2x = -4x + 12
2) Add 4x to both sides.
+4x +4x
6 - 2x = 12
3) flip the equation and subtract 6 from both sides.
2x + 6 = 12
-6 -6
2x = 6
4) Divide by 2 on both sides.
6/ 2 = 3
Answer: 3
Rearrange terms: -2x + 6 = 5x - 9x + 12
Combine like terms: -2x + 6 = -4x + 12
Subtract from both sides: -2x = -4x + 6
since we now know -4x + 6 = -2x, 6 is equal to 2x. Divide by 2, x = 3
