Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4x+2(xโ3)=3x+xโ12
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4x+2(xโ3)=3x+xโ12
4x+(2)(x)+(2)(โ3)=3x+x+โ12(Distribute)
4x+2x+โ6=3x+x+โ12
(4x+2x)+(โ6)=(3x+x)+(โ12)(Combine Like Terms)
6x+โ6=4x+โ12
6xโ6=4xโ12
Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.
6xโ6โ4x=4xโ12โ4x
2xโ6=โ12
Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.
2xโ6+6=โ12+6
2x=โ6
Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.
2x
