Question

Fill in the missing work and justification for step 2 when solving 3( x + 2) = 12

2

Explanation:

I’m not sure

Answer 2

Answer: x = 2

Explanation:

3( x + 2) = 12 (solve the brackets first)

3x + 6 = 12 (take away 6 from both sides)

3x = 12 - 6

= 3x = 6 (divide by 3)

= x = 6 ÷ 3

= x = 2

Hope this helps :)
