You would combine like terms, so it would become 12x +12=180 Then you would subtract 12 from both sides so that the x is on one side and the just plain numbers are on the other side. So your equation now is 12x=168 You then at this point would divide both sides by 12 to get the x alone. Your final answer then would be x=14
