orTo show that 6(x-2) + 12 is equivalent to 6x we will have to equate the expression

6(x-2) + 12 = 6x

6x - 12 + 12 = 6x

6x + 0 = 6x

6x = 6x

So, it can be seen that the two equations are equal

Option A is correct

Option B is also correct because if you substitute 2 into either the left or right equation, you will get 12

Option C is also correct because upon substituting 6 into both equations, you will get 36

Option D is also correct because if either 2 or 6 is substituted, the expression is equivalent
