12x%2B6=31-2x Start with the given equation.


12x=31-2x-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


12x%2B2x=31-6 Add 2x to both sides.


14x=31-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


14x=25 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2825%29%2F%2814%29 Divide both sides by 14 to isolate x.

Answer:

So the answer is x=25%2F14 which approximates to x=1.786.
