How do you get the equation to

6x+12=2 (*+12)

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify 2 (x+12)

6x+12=2x+24

Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation. 4 x + 12 = 24

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation. 4 x = 12

Divide each term by 4 and simplify. x = 3

6x+12=2 (x+12)

First you solve 2 (x+12)

X is practically 1 and 2 multiplied by 12 is 24 so it would be: 6x+12=2x+24

You then subtract 2x on both sides of the equation meaning you subtract 2x with 2x and 6x-2x that then gives you

4x+12=24

Subtract 12 with 12 and with 24

You get 4x=12

Divide both sides with 4

Your answer is:

X=3
