Question

3(2x - 8) = 12

Answer 1

multiply the 3 to everything in the parenthesis

a(bx-c)=abx - ac

can you do that?

Answer 2

@heartbreak

Answer 3

yes i got 6x-24=12

Answer 4

Start by multiply the 3 in, resulting in:
6x-24=12
Then get all x terms on one side, and all non-x terms on the other:
6x=36
And divide both sides by 6 to get x all by itself:
x=6
And there's your answer.

Answer 5

good job @heartbreak , the next step is to get the x alone
so you add 24 to both sides
and then divide by 6.

Answer 6

so x=6

Answer 7

@heartbreak yes you got it correct.
