To solve for x, we first need to combine like terms on each side of the equation.
12x + 6 = 5x - 1
Subtract 5x from both sides:
12x - 5x + 6 = 5x - 1 - 5x
7x + 6 = -1
Subtract 6 from both sides:
7x + 6 - 6 = -1 - 6
7x = -7
Divide by 7 to isolate x:
x = -1
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -1.
