Question 253101


{{{-5x+6=x+12}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-5x=x+12-6}}} 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=(6)/(-6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-6}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-1}}} Reduce.
