Solve 12(6X-13)=x

$$12 ( 6 X - 13 ) = x$$

Solve for X

$$X=\frac{x+156}{72}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 12 by 6X-13.

$$72X-156=x$$

Add 156 to both sides.

$$72X=x+156$$

Divide both sides by 72.

$$\frac{72X}{72}=\frac{x+156}{72}$$

Dividing by 72 undoes the multiplication by 72.

$$X=\frac{x+156}{72}$$

Divide x+156 by 72.

$$X=\frac{x}{72}+\frac{13}{6}$$

Solve for x

$$x=72X-156$$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply 12 by 6X-13.

$$72X-156=x$$
