Question

$$3x+12=2(x+12)$$

Solve for x

$x=12$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $x+12$.

$$3x+12=2x+24$$

Subtract $2x$ from both sides.

$$3x+12-2x=24$$

Combine $3x$ and $-2x$ to get $x$.

$$x+12=24$$

Subtract $12$ from both sides.

$$x=24-12$$

Subtract $12$ from $24$ to get $12$.

$$x=12$$
