Answer:

0

Explanation:

We have the expression 3(x - 2) and we also know the value of x which is 2.

To solve for this, we need to substitute x with the value given :

3(x - 2) when x = 2

3(2 - 2)

Now follow PEMDAS and do the equation within the parenthesis.

2 - 2

0

3(0)

Now multiply 3 and 0 :

3 * 0
