Step-by-step explanation:first you simplify the left side by multiplying the 2 with both numbers which gets you 6x+8=4x+12 then you can subtract 8 from 12 which gets you 6x=4x+4 then you subtract 4x from 6x which then gets you to 2x=4 and finally you divide the 2 from the 4 to get X alone which then gets you the answer of x= 2
