\sf \longmapsto6(x−5)=3x−12

  • Simplify both sides


\sf \longmapsto(6)(x)+(6)(−5)=3x+−12


\sf \longmapsto6x+−30=3x+−12


\sf \longmapsto \: 6x - 30 = 3x - 12

  • Subtract 3x from both sides


\sf \longmapsto \: 6x−30−3x=3x−12−3x


\sf \longmapsto3x−30=−12

  • Add 30 to both sides


\sf \longmapsto3x−30+30=−12+30


\sf \longmapsto3x=18

  • Divide both sides by 3


\sf \longmapsto \: (3x)/(3) = (18)/(3)


\sf \longmapsto \: x = 6


\boxed{\sf \: x = 6 }

6x - 30 - 3x = - 12

  • move the variable to the left hand side and change its sign, move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign


6x - 30 = - 12

  • collect like terms and calculate the sum


3x = - 18

  • divide both sides of the equation by 3


x = 3

hope it helps
