Solve the equation for x.

3(2x+4)=6

1 answer

To solve the equation, we need to isolate x.

First, let's distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

6x + 12 = 6

Next, let's solve for x.

To solve for x, we'll subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

6x + 12 - 12 = 6 - 12

This simplifies to:

6x = -6

Finally, we'll divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for x:

(6x)/6 = -6/6

This simplifies to:

x = -1

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -1.
