Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

6*(x-2)-(2*(x+12))=0

Step by step solution :

Equations which are never true:

5.1 Solve : 4 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

5.2 Solve : x-9 = 0

Add 9 to both sides of the equation :

x = 9

One solution was found :

x = 9

here you go

3 -16x+ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x - 10)(x - 2)

3x(x-2)

=3 - 6x

-10(x-2)

=-10x +20

3 - 6x - 10x + 20

3 -16x+ 20
