12-6x=x
Use the distributive property to multiply 6-3x by 2.
12-6x-x=0
Subtract x from both sides.
12-7x=0

-7x=-12
Subtract 12 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-12}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
x=\frac{12}{7}
Fraction \frac{-12}{-7} can be simplified to \frac{12}{7} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
