First, we should add 1 to both sides to isolate the variable:
3x = 12
Now that x is isolated, we divide by 3:
x = 4
Step 1 gives you
3*(4x - 2) on the left hand side.
When you remove the brackets what you get is
3*4x - 3*2
12 x - 6 You have to distribute on both sides of the plus sign. The answer is the second one down.
So the answer is 2) <<<< answer.
