If they have the same solution then wouldn't they be equal to each other?

anonymous · Answer

Do you know how to factor

anonymous · Answer

So does 3(x-1)+6=3x+3

I think mathgenus123 wants to know how to solve the first equation

mathgenus123 · Answer

Simplify the expression by Combining Like Terms 4x + 2x + 4x + 4Y – Y + 2x *

anonymous · Answer

By factoring the 3 times x you get 3x and 3 times -1 is -1 so you have 3x-1+6=12, see if you can solve from there if not I can help

anonymous · Answer

actually $$3\times(-1)=-3$$ so you would have 3x-3+6=12
