          how to solve $\textsc{3(x+4)=36}$

$\dashrightarrow\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}$

First of all, multiply the number before the parentheses by the expression inside the parentheses:-

$\bigstar\sc{3\times x\times4}$

Which equals

$\bigstar\textsc{3x+12}$

So the equation is:-

$\square$ $\textsc{3x+12=36}$              Subtract 12 on both sides:-

$\textit{3x=24}$                     Next, divide by 3 on both sides:-

$\textit{x=8}\Huge\checkmark$

Good luck with your studies.
