12%282-x%29=6 Start with the given equation.


24-12x=6 Distribute.


-12x=6-24 Subtract 24 from both sides.


-12x=-18 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-18%29%2F%28-12%29 Divide both sides by -12 to isolate x.


x=3%2F2 Reduce.

Answer:

So the answer is x=3%2F2 which in decimal form is x=1.5.
