Q. Solve the following equation for x. Express your answer in the simplest form.2x+6=−12x+6
Collect like terms: First, we need to collect like terms to one side of the equation to isolate the variable x. We can do this by adding 12x to both sides of the equation and subtracting 6 from both sides. 2x+6+12x−6=−12x+6+12x−6
Simplify both sides: Now, we simplify both sides of the equation.(2x+12x)+(6−6)=(−12x+12x)+(6−6)14x=0
Solve for x: Since 14x equals 0, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 14.x=140
Final value of x: Dividing 0 by any non-zero number is 0, so the value of x is 0.x=0
