Distribute on both sides

2x - 8 = 6x + 12

Move x to one side

-20 = 4x

Divide by 4

-5 = x

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2(x - 4) = 6(x + 2)[/tex] (Expand)

[tex]2x-8=6x+12[/tex]

[tex]2x-8+8=6x+12+8[/tex] (Add 8 to both sides)

[tex]2x=6x+20[/tex] (Simplify)

[tex]2x-6x=6x+20-6x[/tex] (Subtract 6x from both sides)

[tex]-4x=20[/tex]

[tex]\cfrac{-4x}{-4}=\cfrac{20}{-4}[/tex] ( Divide)

[tex]x=-5[/tex]
