Question

Solve for the equation for x.
3(10 – 4x) + 6 = 12

Answer 1

Explanation:

3(10 – 4x) + 6 = 12

first you need to use the distributive property

30 – 12x + 6 = 12

then subtract 6 from each side

30 – 12x = 6

then subtract 30 from each side

– 12x = -24

divide both sides by negative 12

x = 2
