Let the number be x:

(x+12)/3 = x

Multiply all terms by 3 in order to get rid of the fraction:

x+12 = 3x

12 = 3x-x

12 = 2x

6 = x

Why does all evennumbers have 2 as factor?

Because that is the definition of an even number - one that is divisible by 2, that is, one that has 2 as a factor.All even numbers can be divided equally by 2. That is, when divided by 2, any even number will result in a whole number, exactly 1/2 of the original number. That number, when multiplied by 2 will always result in the original even number. This does not hold true for odd numbers.
