600=2\times 600+2x\left(-6\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x, the least common multiple of 2x,x.
600=1200+2x\left(-6\right)
Multiply 2 and 600 to get 1200.
600=1200-12x
Multiply 2 and -6 to get -12.
1200-12x=600
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-12x=600-1200
Subtract 1200 from both sides.
-12x=-600
Subtract 1200 from 600 to get -600.
x=\frac{-600}{-12}
Divide both sides by -12.
x=50
Divide -600 by -12 to get 50.
