    The value of each expression is 6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 (4x-6)

    Substituting x for 2

    3 (4 (2) - 6)

    3 (8-6)

    3 (2)

    3X2

    =6

    12x-18

    Substituting x for 2

    12 (2) - 18

    24-18

    =6

    The value of each expression is 6.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 (4x - 6)

    Substituting 2 in for x

    3 (4*2 - 6)

    Multiply first inside the parentheses

    3 (8-6)

    Then subtract inside the parentheses

    3 (2)

    Then multiply

    6

    Now check the second expression

    12x-18

    12*2 - 18

    24-18

    6

    Both expressions equal 6
