Answer:
-144 is your answer for x.
Explanation:
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operation, and stand for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
First, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
x/6 + 12 (-12) = -12 (-12)
x/6 = -12 - 12
x/6 = -24
Next, isolate the variable x, by multiplying 6 to both sides:
(x/6) * 6 = (-24) * 6
x = -24 * 6
x = -144
-144 is your answer for x.
