Solve for x -6x-6x=12

$- 6 x - 6 x = 12$

Step 1

Subtract $6 x$ from $- 6 x$ .

$- 12 x = 12$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- 12 x = 12$ by $- 12$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 12 x = 12$ by $- 12$ .

$\frac{- 12 x}{- 12} = \frac{12}{- 12}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 12$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 12 x}{- 12} = \frac{12}{- 12}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{12}{- 12}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $12$ by $- 12$ .

$x = - 1$
