• A. $2x+6=12$
• B. $2x=6$
• C. $x=3$
• D. $2x+6-6=12-6$
• E. $\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{6}{2}$

Answer 1

$\text{Given equation:}2x+6=12\text{By subtracting 6 on both the sides,}\text{we get,}\Rightarrow 2x+6-6=12-6\Rightarrow 2x=6\text{By dividing 2 on both the sides,}\text{we get,}\Rightarrow \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{6}{2}\Rightarrow x=3$
