Question

How to solve (with steps)
3 ( x + 2 ) = 9 ( 6 - x )

Answer 1

x=4

Explanation:

3 (x+2) = 9 (6-x)

3x + 6 = 54 - 9x

-6 = -6

3x = 48 - 9x

+9x +9x

12x = 48

/12 /12

x = 4

Answer 2

Answer: x = 4

Explanation:

Distribute the 3 and the 9

`3(x+2)=9(6-x)\\3x+6=54-9x`

Add 9x to both sides

`12x+6=54`

Subtract 6 on both sides and simplify

`12x = 48\\x=4`
