{{{2/5x-6=12}}} Start with the given equation



{{{5(2/5x-6)=5*12}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD 5



{{{2x-30=60}}} Distribute and multiply






{{{2x-30=60}}} Start with the given equation



{{{2x=60+30}}}Add 30 to both sides



{{{2x=90}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(90)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x




{{{x=45}}} Divide


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=45}}}
