Answer:x=2

Explanation:

Simplifying

x + 2x + 3x = 12

Combine like terms: x + 2x = 3x

3x + 3x = 12

Combine like terms: 3x + 3x = 6x

6x = 12

Solving

6x = 12

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '6'.

x = 2

Simplifying

x = 2
