Answer:

x = 1/3

Explanation:

First, you have to combine like terms so 10x -x is 9x. Now we have a new equation.

9x + 9 = 12

We're going to have to solve for the digits without variables like so,

9x + 9 = 12

-9 -9

9x = 3

All we've got left here is to isolate the variable and to do that you divide both sides by 9.

x = 3/9 and 3/9 is the same as 1/3

Hope this helps and have a great day!
