Well I multiplied both sides with 2 to get rid of the 1/2 😝
If you want to double both sides it is safe to multiply by two but did you multiply the 3x by 2 as well, or only part of that side?
3x + (2x)/2 = 60
1.5x + 2x = 120
3.5x = 120
x ≠ 12
but
6x + 2x = 120
8x = 120
x = 15
Sorry I can't see how you'd get 12. I must be rusty.
