Explanation:
Distribute... basically meaning to remove the brackets by multiplying 3 by x and 3 by 2... let go...
3×x - 3×2= 18
3x - 6 = 18
Now send the negative six across the equal sign and change it to positive six.... basically separating letters from numbers.... lets go...
3x = 18 + 6
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8
Answer: Combine like terms on both sides.
Subtract 2x 2x 2x on both sides to keep the variable y to the left side only.
Add 3 to both sides of the equation.
Finally, divide both sides by 18 to get the solution.
