Answer:

The answer is 1 solution.

Explanation:

2(x+3)=12

First, do the multiplication by multiplying two times everything in the parentheses

2x+6=12

Then, subtract six from twelve.

2x+6=12

-6 -6

--------------------

2x=6

Finally, divide everything by two.

x=3

It has one solution, and the solution is x=3!
