6(x+3)=12x-12
The sum of a number and 3 becomes x+3. 6 times the sum becomes 6(X+3)
12 times the number becomes 12x
“Is 12 less than) becomes -12
Distribute the 6 to get 6x+18=12x-12
Subtract 6x from both sides to combine the like terms
18=6x-12
Add 12 to both sides
30=6x
Divide both sides by 6
5=x
