To find: Solve the given equation.

Answer to Problem 33CCR

  $x=35$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $6\left(x-12\right)=138$

Given

  $6\left(x-12\right)=138$

On solving

We get

  $\begin{array}{l}6\left(x-12\right)=138\\ \Rightarrow \frac{6\left(x-12\right)}{6}=\frac{138}{6}\\ \Rightarrow x-12=23\\ \Rightarrow x=23+12\\ \Rightarrow x=35\end{array}$

Therefore,

  $x=35$
