Need help with basic algebra

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ x }{ 6 }-12=\frac{ x }{ 6 }$$
I don't know how to do this at all I am in a summer class that moves real fast. Can you please explain WHY you do whatever you do so that I can understand?

anonymous · Answer

jeez what an annoying question
no matter what $x$ is, it is the same number in both places
there is no way you can subtract 12 from a number, and get the same number back
so there is no answer to this

So the answer choices are all real numbers and no solution. You are saying it is no solution, but can you explain why? I am new in college and am 35 years old don't remember any of this.
