Rewrite the expression

- 2 x \times 6

Multiply the terms

- 12 x

- 12 - (- 12 x) = 0

Rewrite the expression

- 12 + 12 x = 0

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

12 x = 0 + 12

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

12 x = 12

Divide both sides

\frac{12 x}{12} = \frac{12}{12}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{12}{12}
