3 (x - 6) + 6 = 5x - 6. what is the solution

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3 (x-6) + 6=5x-6

(3) (x) + (3) (-6) + 6=5x+-6 (Distribute)

3x+-18+6=5x+-6

(3x) + (-18+6) = 5x-6 (Combine Like Terms)

3x+-12=5x-6

3x-12=5x-6

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

3x-12-5x=5x-6-5x

-2x-12=-6

Step 3: Add 12 to both sides.

-2x-12+12=-6+12

-2x=6

Step 4: Divide both sides by - 2.

-2x

-2

=

6

-2

x=-3
