Question

If 3(x-2)= 2x+6 then x equals?

Answer 1

x = 12

Explanation:

First, distribute the 3 into the parentheses:

3(x-2) = 2x+6 ----> 3x-6 = 2x+6

Next, combine like terms by adding 6 to both sides of the equation:

3x-6 = 2x+6 ----> 3x = 2x+12

Then, subtract 2x from both sides:

3x = 2x+12 ----> 1x = 12

Finally, divide both sides by 1 to get x by itself:

x = 12
