Reasoning:

In an equation values of left-hand side (LHS) and right-hand side (RHS) are equal. The two sides of the equation are balanced. We perform mathematical operations so that the balance is not disturbed.

Steps:

We have $$6x = 12,$$ dividing expressions with $$6$$ both sides

\begin{align}\frac{6x}{6}&=\frac{12}{6}\\x &= 2\end{align}
