2x+1=12x+6
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
2x+1-12x=6
Subtract 12x from both sides.
-10x+1=6
Combine 2x and -12x to get -10x.
-10x=6-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-10x=5
Subtract 1 from 6 to get 5.
x=\frac{5}{-10}
Divide both sides by -10.
x=-\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{5}{-10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
