    x=16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

    3 (x+4) = 6 (x-8) + 12

    Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

    3 (x+4) = 6 (x-8) + 12

    (3) (x) + (3) (4) = (6) (x) + (6) (-8) + 12 (Distribute)

    3x+12=6x+-48+12

    3x+12 = (6x) + (-48+12) (Combine Like Terms)

    3x+12=6x+-36

    3x+12=6x-36

    Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.

    3x+12-6x=6x-36-6x

    -3x+12=-36

    Step 3: Subtract 12 from both sides.

    -3x+12-12=-36-12

    -3x=-48

    Step 4: Divide both sides by - 3.

    -3x / - 3 = - 48 / -3

    x=16

    16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3x + 12 = 6x - 48 + 12 ➡ 3x + 12 = 6x - 36

    12 + 36 = 6x - 3x

    48 = 3x

    x = 16
