Solve -12=2/3x+6

$$- 12 = \frac { 2 } { 3 } x + 6$$

Solve for x

$$x=-27$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{2}{3}x+6=-12$$

Subtract 6 from both sides.

$$\frac{2}{3}x=-12-6$$

Subtract 6 from -12 to get -18.

$$\frac{2}{3}x=-18$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{2}, the reciprocal of \frac{2}{3}.

$$x=-18\times \frac{3}{2}$$

Express -18\times \frac{3}{2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-18\times 3}{2}$$

Multiply -18 and 3 to get -54.

$$x=\frac{-54}{2}$$

Divide -54 by 2 to get -27.

$$x=-27$$
