Hello XD

3(x+2) = 3x+6

Distributive property

(3)(x)+(3)(2) = 3x+6

3x+ 6 = 3x+6

Now subtract 3x from both sides

3x+6-3x = 3x+6-3x

6=6

Subtract 6 from both sides

6-6 = 6-6

0=0

In this case the answer is : All real numbers are solution

ok so

remember the distributive property

a(b+c)=ab+ac

so
3(x+2)=3x+6
we have
3x+6=3x+6
identical
now watch
minus 3x both sides
6=6
true staement

therefor any number you put for x will work
