To solve the equation \( 12x - 2 = 3 \), let's first isolate \( x \).
-
Add 2 to both sides: \[ 12x - 2 + 2 = 3 + 2 \] which simplifies to: \[ 12x = 5 \]
-
Divide both sides by 12: \[ x = \frac{5}{12} \]
So, the solution is \( x = \frac{5}{12} \).
Now, you want to represent this on a graph. The best representation for this solution would be a vertical line at \( x = \frac{5}{12} \). If there are multiple choices in a graph format provided, look for one that indicates a line or point at \( x = \frac{5}{12} \).
If you can provide the options available, I can help you choose the correct graph!
