Question 197248
{{{3(x-2)+18=6+2(x+6)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3x-6+18=6+2x+12}}} Distribute.



{{{3x+12=6+2x+12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{3x+12=2x+18}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{3x=2x+18-12}}} Subtract {{{12}}} from both sides.



{{{3x-2x=18-12}}} Subtract {{{2x}}} from both sides.



{{{x=18-12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=6}}} Combine like terms on the right side.
