x=6

Step-by-step explanation

$\begin{gathered} 2(x+2x)=36 \\ \end{gathered}$

Step 1

apply distributive property

$\begin{gathered} 2(x+2x)=36 \\ 2x+4x=36 \\ \end{gathered}$

Step 2

add similar terms

$\begin{gathered} 2x+4x=36 \\ 6x=36 \end{gathered}$

Step 3

finally, divide both sides by 6

$\begin{gathered} (6x)/(6)=(36)/(6) \\ x=6 \end{gathered}$
