Evaluate

3 x - 6 = x \times 12

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

3 x - 6 = 12 x

Move the variable to the left side

3 x - 6 - 12 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 9 x - 6 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 9 x = 0 + 6

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

- 9 x = 6

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

9 x = - 6

Divide both sides

\frac{9 x}{9} = \frac{- 6}{9}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 6}{9}
