Question

$$3 - x = 12 x$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{3}{13}\approx 0.230769231$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $12x$ from both sides.

$$3-x-12x=0$$

Combine $-x$ and $-12x$ to get $-13x$.

$$3-13x=0$$

Subtract $3$ from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-13x=-3$$

Divide both sides by $-13$.

$$x=\frac{-3}{-13}$$

Fraction $\frac{-3}{-13}$ can be simplified to $\frac{3}{13}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{3}{13}$$
