Solve for x a+12x=m

$a + 12 x = m$

Step 1

Subtract $a$ from both sides of the equation.

$12 x = m - a$

Step 2

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

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

$\frac{12 x}{12} = \frac{m}{12} + \frac{- a}{12}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $12$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{12 x}{12} = \frac{m}{12} + \frac{- a}{12}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{m}{12} + \frac{- a}{12}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

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