Question

Solve for x. -(12x-6)=12x+6

Answer 1

-(12x - 6) = 12x + 6

First, distribute the negative sign on the left side.

It is the same as multiplying the quantity in parentheses by -1.

-1(12x - 6) = 12x + 6

-12x + 6 = 12x + 6

Now, subtract 12x from both sides.

-24x + 6 = 6

Subtract 6 from both sides.

-24x = 0

Divide both sides by -24.

x = 0/(-24)

x = 0

Answer: x = 0
