Question
Solve the equation
x=3
Evaluate
6(x−2)=2x
Expand the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
6(x−2)
Apply the distributive property
6x−6×2
Multiply the numbers
6x−12
6x−12=2x
Move the variable to the left side
6x−12−2x=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
6x−2x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(6−2)x
Subtract the numbers
4x
4x−12=0
Move the constant to the right side
4x=0+12
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4x=12
Divide both sides
44x=412
Divide the numbers
x=412
