To solve this equation, we will first distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
3(2x + 4) = 6
6x + 12 = 6
Next, we will subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
6x = 6 - 12
6x = -6
Finally, we will divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for x:
x = -6/6
x = -1
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -1.
3(2× + 4) = 6

7(n - 3 )+ 13 = -8
To solve the equation, we will first distribute the 7 to both terms inside the parentheses:
7(n - 3) + 13 = -8
7n - 21 + 13 = -8
Next, we will combine like terms on the left side of the equation:
7n - 8 = -8
Then, we will add 8 to both sides of the equation:
7n = 0
Finally, we will divide both sides of the equation by 7 to solve for n:
n = 0/7
n = 0
Therefore, the solution to the equation is n = 0.
7(n - 3) + 13 = -8
7n - 21 + 13 = -8
Next, we will combine like terms on the left side of the equation:
7n - 8 = -8
Then, we will add 8 to both sides of the equation:
7n = 0
Finally, we will divide both sides of the equation by 7 to solve for n:
n = 0/7
n = 0
Therefore, the solution to the equation is n = 0.
