The answer is A. x=4.

Start off by distributing the parentheses into the equation.

4x+2(x+6)=36

4x+2x+12=26

Combine like terms.

4x+2x=6x

6x+12=36

Now solve the equation as normal. Begin by subtracting 12 from both sides to isolate the variable.

6x+12=36

-12 -12

---------------

6x = 24

Divide 6 on both sides to find x.

6x=24

---- -----

6 6

x=4

The solution to the equation is 4.
