Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]3x = 6[/tex]

Solving (a): What the expression means

3 when multiplied by x, gives 6

Solving (b): Why 2 is the solution

We have:

[tex]3x = 6[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{6}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{6}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x = 2[/tex]
