Answer: x=2
<span>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.</span>
2(3x+4) = 4x +12

(2)(3x)+(2)(4)=4x+12(Distribute)<span><span><span>6x</span>+8</span>=<span><span>4x</span>+<span>12

</span></span></span>Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.<span><span><span><span>6x</span>+8</span>−<span>4x</span></span>=<span><span><span>4x</span>+12</span>−<span>4x</span></span></span><span><span><span>2x</span>+8</span>=12

</span>Step 3: Subtract 8 from both sides.<span><span><span><span>2x</span>+8</span>−8</span>=<span>12−8</span></span><span><span>2x</span>=4

</span>Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.<span><span><span>2x/</span>2</span>=<span>4/2</span></span><span>x=2
If you want I could show you the second method. </span>

First of all, we can observe that

$x^2-6x+9 = (x-3)^2$

So the expression becomes

$\dfrac{x^2-4}{\sqrt{(x-3)^2}} = \dfrac{x^2-4}{|x-3|}$

This means that the expression is defined for every $x\neq 3$

Now, since the denominator is always positive (when it exists), the fraction can only be positive if the denominator is also positive: we must ask

$x^2-4 \geq 0 \iff x\leq -2 \lor x\geq 2$

Since we can't accept 3 as an answer, the actual solution set is

$(-\infty,-2] \cup [2,3) \cup (3,\infty)$
