Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3(2x + -8) = 12

Reorder the terms:

3(-8 + 2x) = 12

(-8 * 3 + 2x * 3) = 12

(-24 + 6x) = 12

Solving

-24 + 6x = 12

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '24' to each side of the equation.

-24 + 24 + 6x = 12 + 24

Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0

0 + 6x = 12 + 24

6x = 12 + 24

Combine like terms: 12 + 24 = 36

6x = 36

Divide each side by '6'.

x = 6

Simplifying

x = 6
