 - This is an optional step. I prefer the numbers to be on the left hand side, but it's not necessary.

Equation at the end of Step 1:

 - We combine like terms because there is 2 x's, and we need 1 x.

Equation at the end of Step 2:

 - When solving problems like this, to get x alone you have to do the opposite of what you see.

 - In this case, we have a positive 9. So to get rid of 9 we do the opposite: -9 on each side.

Equation at the end of Step 3:

 - When solving problems like this, to get x alone you have to do the opposite of what you see.

 - In this case, we have 12 being multiplied by x. So to get rid of the 12 we do the opposite: Divide by 12 on each side.
