Answer:

  • x = 16

Explanation:


\mathmr{5\left(x-6\right)-2\left(x+3\right)=12}

Expand:-


  • \mathrm{3x-36=12}

Add 36 to both sides:-


  • \mathrm{3x-36+36=12+36}

Simplify:-


  • \mathrm{3x=48}

Divide both sides by 3:-


  • \mathrm{\cfrac{3x}{3}=\cfrac{48}{3}}

Simplify:-


  • \mathrm{x=16}
