What’s the solution of 12(x+1)=36

Answer 1

12(x+1) = 36

Opening the parenthesis, multiplying x and 1 by 12

12x + 12 = 36

subtracting 12 from both sides,

12x+12 - 12 = 36 - 12

12x = 36 - 12

12x = 24

Dividing both sides by 12,

12x/12 =24/12

x = 2

Answer 2

First you have to distribute the 12. 12x+12=36. Then divide each side by 12. X+12=3. Then subtract each side by 12. X=-9
