    5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2 (3x + 6) = 42

    (3x + 6) = 42/2

    (3x + 6) = 21

    3x + 6 = 21

    3x = 21 - 6

    3x = 15

    x = 1/3

    x = 5

    The answer would be x=5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2 (3x+6) = 42

    so what you're gonna do is use the distributive property, so you would multiply 2 and 3x, and 2 and 6. so then you would have:

    6x+12=42

    Now you want to get rid of the twelve so you can solve for x. So you are going to subtract 12 from 12 and 42. So now you have:

    6x=30

    Next you're going to divide 6x and 30 by 6. So you would have x=5
