Answer: x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute the 3 into the parenthesis

     3x - 18 + 6 = 5x - 6

2. Combine like terms (on the left side of the equation

    3x - 12 = 5x - 6

3. Add 6 to both sides to get rid of the -6 on the right side

    3x - 6 = 5x

4. Subtract 3x from both sides to get rid of the 3x from the left side

    -6 = 2x

5. Divide both sides by 2

    -3 = x

Answer:

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

If there are 4 trucks then the first truck weighs x
then x+2tons
then x+4tons
then x+6tons = 32tons
so 4x+12=32
         -12   -12
     /4         /4
x=5 
so plug it back in 
truck 1= 5tons or 10,000lbs
truck 2= 7tons or 14,000lbs
truck 3= 9tons or 18,000lbs
truck 4= 11tons or 22,000lbs
