| Left side of the equation = | 6 | × | 2 | x | − | 6 | × | 1 | − | 12 |
| = | 12 | x | − | 6 | − | 12 |
| = | 12 | x | − | 18 |
| 12 | x | − | 18 | = | 0 |
| 12 | x | = | 0 | + | 18 |
| 12 | x | = | 18 |
| x | = | 18 | ÷ | 12 |
| = | 18 | × | 1 12 |
| = | 3 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 3 2 |
| x | = | 1.5 |
