Given Equation:

3(x - 2) = 6x - 12

To Find:

The value of x.

Solution:

By opening the brackets, we get

3x - 6 = 6x - 12

By putting the common terms in a side, we get

3x - 6x = -12 + 6

(The value of a term changes when we take it to the other side of an equation)

By Subtracting and Adding the like terms, we get

-3x = -6

By putting -3 to the left side of the equation, we get

x = -6/-3

(The value of a term changes when we take it to the other side of an equation)

Answer:

x = 2
