Find the solution to the equation: 2(3x-6)=12+6

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x−6)=12+6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(3x−6)=12+6

(2)(3x)+(2)(−6)=12+6(Distribute)

6x+−12=12+6

6x−12=(12+6)(Combine Like Terms)

6x−12=18

6x−12=18

Step 2: Add 12 to both sides.

6x−12+12=18+12

6x=30

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

6x
