Step-by-step explanation: We want to solve this equation for <em>x</em> so we want to get <em>x</em> by itself on the left side of the equation.
Since <em>x</em> is being multiplied by 6, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 6. On the left side of the equation, notice that the 6 and 6 cancel eachother out so we're just left <em>x</em>. On the right side, -12 divided by 6 is -2 so we have <em>x = -2</em> which is the solution to our equation.
