Answer: x=3

Explanation:

1. First lets do the parenthesis 3(4x+2) to get 12x+6

2. 12x+6=8x+24-2x (combine like terms) first lets do 8x and 2x first so its 8-2= 6x

3. 12x+6=6x+24 (now subtract 12x by 6x to get 6x)

4. 6x+6= 24 (now subtract 24 by 6 to get 18)

5. 6x= 18 (now divide 18 by 6 to get 3)

Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:


3(4x+2)=8x+24−2x

Expand and simplify

We have


12x + 6 = 8x + 24 - 2x \\ 12x + 6 = 6x + 24

Move 6x to the left side of the equation


12x - 6x + 6 = 24 \\ 6x + 6 = 24

Move 6 to the right side of the equation


6x = 24 - 6 \\ 6x = 18

Divide both sides by 6


(6x)/(6) = (18)/(6) \\

We have the final answer as

x = 3

Hope this helps you
