Explanation Given: The linear equation: 2 − 12 x = 7 ( x − 1 ) . Key Concepts used: When solving a linear equation in one variable, we first move the x terms to one side of the equation and the constants to the other side. We then use algebraic simplification of variables and normal simplification of constants to solve for x. Calculation: 2 − 12 x = 7 ( x − 1 ) 2 − 12 x = 7 x − 7 (using the distributive property of multiplication) 2 + 7 = 12 x + 7 x (
