Answer 2

that would be line 4

it should be : x = 12/6 not x = 12 * 6

Answer 3

but how bout line two were did they get 12 @texaschic101

Answer 4

6(x + 2) = 24.....you distribute the 6 through the parenthesis

all that means is multiply the 6 by everything in the parenthesis
6(x + 2) = 24
6 * x + 6 * 2 = 24
6x + 12 = 24

understand ?
