6x+3x+6=5x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+2.
9x+6=5x+12
Combine 6x and 3x to get 9x.
9x+6-5x=12
Subtract 5x from both sides.
4x+6=12
Combine 9x and -5x to get 4x.
4x=12-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
4x=6
Subtract 6 from 12 to get 6.
x=\frac{6}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{3}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
