Step-by-step explanation:

Lesson: Using Properties to Simplify Expressions

First, you add/subtract by the numbers from left to right.

[tex]3x-x=2x[/tex]

Then you use group like terms to change sides.

[tex]2x+12-12[/tex]

Simplify and solve.

[tex]12-12=0[/tex]

Final answer is 2x

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)
