X = 6
You need to isolate the variable or get x on one side of the = sign and a number on the other side.
1. Do the inverse operation and add one to each side of the equation. -1+1= 0 and 11+1=12
2. Subtract 2x from both sides. 2x-2x=0 and 4x-2x=2x.
So we are left with 2x=12 or 2 times some number “x” is equal to twelve.
3. Next we divide both sides by 2
2/2=1 and 12/2=6
So x=6
