Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

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

                     1/2*(8*x-6)-(x-12)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            1
 Simplify   —
            2

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   1                
  (— • (8x - 6)) -  (x - 12)  = 0 
   2                

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   8x - 6  =   2 • (4x - 3) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  (4x - 3) -  (x - 12)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Step  5  :

Pulling out like terms :

 5.1     Pull out like factors :

   3x + 9  =   3 • (x + 3) 

Equation at the end of step  5  :

  3 • (x + 3)  = 0 

Step  6  :

Equations which are never true :

 6.1      Solve :    3   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 6.2      Solve  :    x+3 = 0 

 Subtract  3  from both sides of the equation : 
                      x = -3
