Question

solve: -3(x+2) = -12​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+(-6)=-12

-3x-6=-12

-3x=-12+6

-3x=-6

x=-6/-3

x=2

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 ( x + 2 ) = -12

-3x - 6 = -12

-3x =-12 + 6   (on transposing -6 to RHS )

-3x = -6

transpose 3 to RHS

-x = -6 / 3

-x = -2 / 1

x = 2    (cancel the ' - ' sign on both the sides )

verification

-3 ( x + 2_ = -12

substitute x = 2

-3 ( 2 = 2 ) = -12

-6 -6 = -12

-12 = -12

LHS = RHS
