Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Find x in the equation 3(x - 2) = 12.
  • Step 1: Start with the equation 3(x - 2) = 12.
  • Step 2: To make it easier, divide both sides of the equation by 3. This gives you x - 2 = 4.
  • Step 3: Now, you need to get x by itself. To do this, add 2 to both sides of the equation. This gives you x = 4 + 2.
  • Step 4: Simplify the right side. So, x = 6.
