Solution Steps
Step 1: Isolate the Variable Term
Given the linear equation in the form $ax + b = cx + d$, we first isolate the variable term on one side.
By rearranging, we get $(a-c)x = d-b$, which simplifies to: $(a-c)x = 12$.
Step 2: Solve for the Variable
To solve for $x$, we divide both sides of the equation by $(a-c)$.
This gives us: $x = \frac{d-b}{a-c} = \frac{0+12}{2-0} = 6$, rounded to 0 decimal places.
