Question 739522
<pre>
{{{6x}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{12}}}

What you do to one side of the equation you 
must also do to the pther side.

We need to get rid of the 6 that is multiplied
by the x on the left so we will just have x
on the left of the equal sign.

The opposite of multiplication is division, so
we fivide both sides by 6 like this. [we put
6 under each side]:

{{{(6x)/6}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{12/6}}}

The 6's cancel on the left, and we know that
6 goes into 12 2 times so we have:

       {{{2}}}
{{{(cross(6)x)/cross(6)}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{cross(12)/cross(6)}}}

   {{{x}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{2}}}

The solution is 2.
