x = 6x=6

Explanation:

To find the solution for xx in this equation we divide each side of the equation by color(red)(2)2 in order to isolate xx and keep the equation balanced:

2x = 122x=12

(2x)/color(red)(2) = 12/color(red)(2)2x2=122

(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(2)))x)/cancel(color(red)(2)) = 6

x = 6
