3(ab+bc+ac)=

Solution for 3(ab+bc+ac)= equation:

Simplifying
3(ab + bc + ac) = 0

Reorder the terms:
3(ab + ac + bc) = 0
(ab * 3 + ac * 3 + bc * 3) = 0
(3ab + 3ac + 3bc) = 0

Solving
3ab + 3ac + 3bc = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3bc' to each side of the equation.
3ab + 3ac + 3bc + -3bc = 0 + -3bc

Combine like terms: 3bc + -3bc = 0
3ab + 3ac + 0 = 0 + -3bc
3ab + 3ac = 0 + -3bc
Remove the zero:
3ab + 3ac = -3bc

Combine like terms: -3bc + 3bc = 0
3ab + 3ac + 3bc = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '3'.
3(ab + ac + bc) = 0

Ignore the factor 3.
