Problem (class6x)

Solve the linear equation and give the value of \(x\):

\[ 6\cdot x - 9 = 3\cdot x + 12 \]

A “class6x” style task is interpreted as a fundamental one-variable linear equation where terms in \(x\) are collected on one side and constants on the other.

Solution

Step 1: Move all \(x\)-terms to one side

Subtract \(3\cdot x\) from both sides to keep the equation balanced:

\[ 6\cdot x - 3\cdot x - 9 = 12 \]
\[ 3\cdot x - 9 = 12 \]

Step 2: Move constants to the other side

Add \(9\) to both sides:

\[ 3\cdot x = 12 + 9 \]
\[ 3\cdot x = 21 \]

Step 3: Isolate \(x\)

Divide both sides by \(3\):

\[ x = \frac{21}{3} = 7 \]

Step 4: Check by substitution

Substitute \(x=7\) into the original equation:

\[ 6\cdot 7 - 9 \;=\; 42 - 9 \;=\; 33 \]
\[ 3\cdot 7 + 12 \;=\; 21 + 12 \;=\; 33 \]

Both sides match, so \(x=7\) is correct.

Result: \(x=7\).

The common structure behind many class6x problems is: collect variable terms \((\propto x)\), collect constants, then apply the inverse operation to isolate \(x\).

Visualization (Intersection of Two Lines)

Visualizing the algebraic balance: Both sides of the equation represent straight lines. The solution \(x=7\) is precisely where these lines intersect, meaning both mathematical expressions yield the same result (\(33\)) at that point.

Answer

\(x=7\)
