9x+8=12x+6
Since 12x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting 12x from both sides.
9x+8-12x=6
Since 9x and -12x are like terms, add -12x to 9x to get -3x.
-3x+8=6
Since 8 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 8 from both sides.
-3x=-8+6
Add 6 to -8 to get -2.
-3x=-2
Divide each term in the equation by -3.
-(3x)/(-3)=-(2)/(-3)
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
x=-(2)/(-3)
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
x=(2)/(3)
