Please check the explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression
3x-12
1)
Writing the expression in an equivalent form
3x-12
Factor out common term 3
3x-12 = 3(x-4)
Thus, 3(x-4) is equivalent to 3x-12.
2)
Writing the expression in an equivalent form
3x-12
Multiply the expression by 2/2
[tex]3x-12\:=\frac{2}{2}\:\times \:\left[3x-12\right][/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\frac{2}{2}\:\times \:\left[3x-12\right][/tex] is equivalent to 3x-12.
