How do you solve the problem - 6x + 12 = 8 - 2x?

Step-by-step explanation: - 6x+12=8-2x

One solution was found:

x = 1

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation:

-6*x+12 - (8-2*x) = 0

Step by step solution:

Step 1:

Pulling out like terms:

1.1 Pull out like factors:

-4x + 4 = - 4 • (x - 1)

Equation at the end of step 1:

Step 2:

Equations which are never true:

2.1 Solve : - 4 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : x-1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides of the equation:

x = 1

One solution was found:
