Evaluate
4(3−x)
Apply the distributive property
4×3−4x
Multiply the numbers
12−4x
3x−6=12−4x

Add the terms
3x−6−(12−4x)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
3x−6−12+4x
Add the terms

Evaluate
3x+4x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(3+4)x
Add the numbers
7x
7x−6−12
Subtract the numbers
7x−18
7x−18=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
7x=0+18
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
7x=18
Divide both sides
77x=718
Solution
x=718
