Question

Find the solution to the equation:

2(3x-6)= -12+6
A.x=10
B. x= (-6)
C. x= 4
D. many possible solutions

Answer 1

x = 1

Explanation:

To find the solution to the equation given, we will follow the steps below:

2(3x-6)= -12+6

Open the bracket

6x - 12 = -12 + 6

6x - 12 =-6

Add 12 to both-side of the equation

6x -12 + 12 = -6 + 12

6x =6

Divide both-side of the equation by 6

6x/6 = 6/6

At the left-hand side of the equation, 6 will cancel-out 6 while at the right-hand side of the equation, 6 will be divided by 6

x = 1
