1+x\left(-2\right)=12x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
1+x\left(-2\right)-12x=0
Subtract 12x from both sides.
1-14x=0
Combine x\left(-2\right) and -12x to get -14x.
-14x=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-1}{-14}
Divide both sides by -14.
x=\frac{1}{14}
Fraction \frac{-1}{-14} can be simplified to \frac{1}{14} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
