Question

Solve for x 3(x+2) = 12

Answer 1

The value of x is equal to 2.

Explanation:

3(x + 2) = 12

Distribute 3 to (x + 2)

3x + 6 = 12

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.

3x = 6

Divide 3 on both sides of the equation.

x = 2

The value of x is 2

Answer 2

x=2

Explanation:

3(x+2) = 12

3/3(x+2) = 12/3

x+2 = 4

Subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 = 4-2

x =2
