Step 1: Combine like terms Response area,

Step 2: Get x-terms on same side of equation Response area

Step 3: Get constants on same side of equation Response area

Step 4: Get the x by itself by using the inverse operation
Step 1: Combine like terms
5x - 12 - 6x = -10x + 7 - 1

Step 2: Get x-terms on the same side of the equation
5x - 6x + 10x = 7 - 1 + 12

Step 3: Get constants on the same side of the equation
9x = 18

Step 4: Get the x by itself by using the inverse operation
x = 2
