-3x%2B12=1%2B5x%2B10-6x Start with the given equation.


-3x%2B12=-x%2B11 Combine like terms on the right side.


-3x=-x%2B11-12 Subtract 12 from both sides.


-3x%2Bx=11-12 Add x to both sides.


-2x=11-12 Combine like terms on the left side.


-2x=-1 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-1%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x.


x=1%2F2 Reduce.
