when X is added to a number which is thrice of 2, the result is 12. Find the value of X?

"A number which is thrice of 2" means three times two, which is six. You add what to 6 to make 12? The answer is 6. Think about this problem and see how you get to the solution yourself, this will help you in the future. Just spend some time to think and a lot of these will become obvious.

2 × 3 + X = 12

6 + X = 12

X = 6

X +3*2= 12

X = 12-6= 6 ANSWER

x + 3(2) =12
x + 6 =12
x=6

''thrice of 2'' is 2 x 3 .. which is 6
To get 6 up to 12 you need to add 6

x is 6

x + 6 = 12
x = 6

Seriously? This isn't rocket science.
