Simplify

2 x - 64 x

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

(2 - 64) x

Subtract the numbers

- 62 x

- 62 x - 12 = 0

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

- 62 x = 0 + 12

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

- 62 x = 12

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

62 x = - 12

Divide both sides

\frac{62 x}{62} = \frac{- 12}{62}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 12}{62}

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{- 12}{62}

Cancel out the common factor 2

\frac{- 6}{31}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

- \frac{6}{31}

x = - \frac{6}{31}
