6x^{2}+x-12-\left(6x^{2}-17x+5\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-5 by 3x-1 and combine like terms.
6x^{2}+x-12-6x^{2}+17x-5=0
To find the opposite of 6x^{2}-17x+5, find the opposite of each term.
x-12+17x-5=0
Combine 6x^{2} and -6x^{2} to get 0.
18x-12-5=0
Combine x and 17x to get 18x.
18x-17=0
Subtract 5 from -12 to get -17.
18x=17
Add 17 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{17}{18}
Divide both sides by 18.
