Step Work Justification

1 3 (x + 2) = 12 Given

2

3 3x + 6 - 6 = 12 - 6 Subtraction Property of Equality

4 3x = 6 Simplify

5 Three times x over three equals six over three Division Property of Equality

6 x = 2 Simplify

3x + 6 = 12; Distributive Property

3x + 2 = 12; Distributive Property

3x + 6 = 12; Multiplication Property of Equality

3x + 2 = 12; Multiplication Property of Equality

    You need to distribute the 3.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 (x + 2) = 12 Distribute

    3x + 6 = 12 Subtract 6 on both sides

    3x = 6 Divide both sides by 3

    x = 2
