Answer 1

Let's simplify the equation step by step.

Starting with the equation:

\[
9x - 12 + 12 = 6 + 12
\]

First, combine the like terms on both sides:

On the left side:
\[
-12 + 12 = 0
\]
So, the left side simplifies to:
\[
9x + 0 = 9x
\]

On the right side:
\[
6 + 12 = 18
\]
So, the right side simplifies to:
\[
18
\]

Now we have the simplified equation:
\[
9x = 18
\]

To solve for \( x \), divide both sides by 9:
\[
x = \frac{18}{9} = 2
\]

So, the solution is:
\[
x = 2
\]
