Q. Solve the following equation for x x . Express your answer in the simplest form.\newline2x+6=12x+6 2 x+6=-12 x+6 \newline
  1. Collect like terms: First, we need to collect like terms to one side of the equation to isolate the variable xx. We can do this by adding 12x12x to both sides of the equation and subtracting 66 from both sides. 2x+6+12x6=12x+6+12x62x + 6 + 12x - 6 = -12x + 6 + 12x - 6
  2. Simplify both sides: Now, we simplify both sides of the equation.\newline(2x+12x)+(66)=(12x+12x)+(66)(2x + 12x) + (6 - 6) = (-12x + 12x) + (6 - 6)\newline14x=014x = 0
  3. Solve for x: Since 14x14x equals 00, we can solve for xx by dividing both sides by 1414.\newlinex=014x = \frac{0}{14}
  4. Final value of x: Dividing 00 by any non-zero number is 00, so the value of xx is 00.\newlinex=0x = 0
