Question

Solve for x 3(x + 2) = 12

Answer 1

X=2

Explanation:

Isolate x on one side of the equation.

3(x+2)=12

3(x+2)/3=12/3 (First, divide by 3 from both sides.)

12/3 (Solve.)

12/3=4

x+2=4

x+2-2=4-2 (Then, subtract 2 from both sides.)

4-2 (Solve.)

4-2=2

x=2

Therefore, the final answer is x=2.

Answer 2

x=2

Explanation:

3(x+20/3=12/3

x+2=4

x+2-2=4-2

x=2
