-5x%2B6=x%2B12 Start with the given equation.


-5x=x%2B12-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


-5x-x=12-6 Subtract x from both sides.


-6x=12-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-6x=6 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%286%29%2F%28-6%29 Divide both sides by -6 to isolate x.


x=-1 Reduce.
