Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

I'm assuming your question is to simplify the given expression. I will work that problem and also I will solve for x just in case that's your question instead.

Step 1: Simplify inside parenthesis

7x + 3 - x = 6x + 3

Step 2: Multiply simplified expression by number outside parenthesis

2 * (6x+3) = 2*6x + 2*3

12x + 6

Simplification is done after this step.

Step 3 (unnecessary if the problem is to simplify the expression): Solve

12x + 6 = 0

12x = -6

x = -1/2

Since there was no term given on the other side of the equal sign, I assumed that term was zero.
