What you do to one side of the equation you
must also do to the pther side.
We need to get rid of the 6 that is multiplied
by the x on the left so we will just have x
on the left of the equal sign.
The opposite of multiplication is division, so
we fivide both sides by 6 like this. [we put
6 under each side]:
The 6's cancel on the left, and we know that
6 goes into 12 2 times so we have:
The solution is 2.
