Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(- 2 - 124) x

Subtract the numbers

- 126 x

6 - 126 x

6 - 126 x = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 126 x = 0 - 6

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 126 x = - 6

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

126 x = 6

Divide both sides

\frac{126 x}{126} = \frac{6}{126}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{6}{126}

Solution

x = \frac{1}{21}

Alternative Form

x = 0. \dot{0} 4761 \dot{9}
