Chapter 6: Problem 79

Solve the equation. \(3(x-6)=12\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution for x is \(x = 10\).

Step by step solution

01

Distribute

Multiply 3 with each term inside the parenthesis: \(3*(x-6)\) which results in \(3x-18=12\)
02

Move Terms

To isolate x, the term 18 should be moved to the other side of the equation. It is done by adding 18 on each side like \(3x-18+18=12+18\). This simplifies to \(3x = 30\)
03

Solve for x

Finally, in order to get the value of x, we have to divide both sides by 3 which results in \(x = 30/3\).
