Answer :

GivEn - 3(x+4)=18

  • (when we expand it using Distributive property) - 3x+12=18

  • (and when we change the side of 12 and subtract it from 18 , it becomes) - 3x=6

  • and then we have to change the side of 3 and bring it to RHS and as it is multiplied with x in the the LHS ,in RHS it will be divided with 6 in RHS ,thus it will form the equation = x=6/3 ,which when simplified becomes ,2 . Thus , our answer is 2.
