Answer:

C

Explanation:

We can first move the variables to one side.

We can do this by subtracting 6x from both sides.

12x^2-6x=0

Now, we can factor out 6x.

6x(2x-1)=0

Since it equals 0, we know that 2x-1=0, or 6x=0.

This is because when ab=0, either a or b must equal 0.

So we can set both of these equal to 0 to solve.

6x=0

Divide both sides by 6.

x=0

2x-1=0

Add 1 to both sides.

2x=1

Divide both sides by 2.

x=1/2
