B. The solution set is all real numbers.
C. The solution set is [tex]\(\varnothing\)[/tex].



Answer :

Let's solve the given equation step by step:

Given equation:
[tex]\[ 6x - 3x + 12 = 2x + 6 \][/tex]

First, simplify the left side of the equation:
[tex]\[ (6x - 3x) + 12 = 2x + 6 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 3x + 12 = 2x + 6 \][/tex]

Next, let's isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex] by subtracting [tex]\(2x\)[/tex] from both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[ 3x - 2x + 12 = 6 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x + 12 = 6 \][/tex]

Now, subtract 12 from both sides to solve for [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x + 12 - 12 = 6 - 12 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x = -6 \][/tex]

So, we have found that the solution to the equation is:
[tex]\[ x = -6 \][/tex]

In terms of the solution set:
A. The solution set is [tex]\(\{-6\}\)[/tex].

Thus, the correct choice is:
A. The solution set is [tex]\(\{-6\}\)[/tex].
