Answer:

The number 3 makes this statement true.


x=3

Explanation:

Given the equation:


(12*3)*6=12*(x*6)

Using the order of operations, we can evaluate the terms in the parentheses through the process of multiplication:


36*6=12*6x

Multiply the terms on both sides of the equation:


216=72x

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of
x, which is
72:


3=x


x=3

-

Let's check our work by substituting the solved
x value for


(12*3)*6=12*(3*6)


36*6=12*18


216=216

Since both sides of the equation are equal to each other, our solution is correct!
