X=1.5 What you want to start with is isolating the x variable. To do that you want to get the 6y on the other side of the equal sign so you subtract 6y and so your equation should look like this 12x=-6y+24. Now you need to get x by itself so you need to divide the -6y+24 by 12 to get the x by itself. That then gets you -.5+2=x so the final answer would be x=1.5
