Divide the numbers:

\frac{6}{6} = 1

= 3 x - π

Simplify

6 \cdot \frac{2 π}{3} + 6 \cdot 2 πn : 4 π + 12 πn

6 \cdot \frac{2 π}{3} + 6 \cdot 2 πn

6 \cdot \frac{2 π}{3} = 4 π

6 \cdot \frac{2 π}{3}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{2 π 6}{3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 6 = 12

= \frac{12 π}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{12}{3} = 4

= 4 π

6 \cdot 2 πn = 12 πn

6 \cdot 2 πn

Multiply the numbers:

6 \cdot 2 = 12

= 12 πn

= 4 π + 12 πn

3 x - π = 4 π + 12 πn

3 x - π = 4 π + 12 πn

3 x - π = 4 π + 12 πn

Move

π

to the right side

3 x - π = 4 π + 12 πn

Add

π

to both sides

3 x - π + π = 4 π + 12 πn + π
