Question

12(x-6)=2(x-9) plzzz help

Answer 1

Explanation:

12(x−6)=2(x−9)

(12)(x)+(12)(−6)=(2)(x)+(2)(−9)(Distribute)

12x+−72=2x+−18

12x−72=2x−18

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

12x−72−2x=2x−18−2x

10x−72=−18

Step 3: Add 72 to both sides.

10x−72+72=−18+72

10x=54

Step 4: Divide both sides by 10.
