Explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

2(x + 2x) = 36

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Combine like terms: 2(3x) = 36
2. Divide both sides by 2: 3x = 18
3. Divide both sides by 3: x = 6

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in x: 2(6 + 2(6)) = 36
2. Multiply: 2(6 + 12) = 36
3. Add: 2(18) = 36
4. Multiply: 36 = 36

Here we see that 36 does indeed equal 36.

∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.
