Answer:

C. 12

Explanation:

Given the equation:


3(x-2)=2x+6

To solve for x, follow the steps below.

Step 1: Distribute the bracket on the left-hand side of the equation.


\begin{gathered} 3(x)-3(2)=2x+6 \\ 3x-6=2x+6 \end{gathered}

Step 2: Add 6 to both sides.


\begin{gathered} 3x-6+6=2x+6+6 \\ 3x=2x+12 \end{gathered}

Step 3: Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.


\begin{gathered} 3x-2x=2x-2x+12 \\ x=12 \end{gathered}

The value of x is 12.
