This year carlos planted 6 more than one-third cucumber plants he planted last year how many cucumbers plants did he plant this year if he planted 12 plants

From this problem, we can make this equation: 1/3x +6=12.

-6 on both sides. you get:
1/3x= 6.

divide by 1/3 to get the variable by itself on one side.
 You get: x=18

Hope this helps! Please correct me if I'm wrong.
