Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

 1.1     Pull out like factors :

   12x + 10  =   2 • (6x + 5) 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

 2.1      Solve :    2   =  0

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

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.2      Solve  :    6x+5 = 0 

 Subtract  5  from both sides of the equation : 
                      6x = -5
Divide both sides of the equation by 6:
                     x = -5/6 = -0.833
