Solve 12(x-3) 18=4(3x-3)

Evaluate

12 (x - 3) \times 18 = 4 (3 x - 3)

Multiply the terms

216 (x - 3) = 4 (3 x - 3)

Calculate

More Steps

216 x - 648 = 4 (3 x - 3)

Calculate

More Steps

216 x - 648 = 12 x - 12

Move the expression to the left side

216 x - 648 - (12 x - 12) = 0

Calculate

More Steps

204 x - 636 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

204 x = 0 + 636

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

204 x = 636

Divide both sides

\frac{204 x}{204} = \frac{636}{204}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{636}{204}

Solution

x = \frac{53}{17}

Alternative Form

x \approx 3.117647
