subtract 2x from both sides

x=-12

Answer 2

Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

3x + 12 = 2x

3x + 12 - 12 = 2x - 12

Simplify:

3x = 2x - 12

Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:

3x = 2x - 12

3x-2x = 2x  - 12-2x

Simplify:

combine like terms --> multiply by 1 --> combine like terms

x = -12 <-- ANSWER
