Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4x+2) = 4x - 12(x-1)

Expand brackets.

8x + 4 = 4x - 12x + 12

Subtract 4 on both sides.

8x = 4x - 12x + 12 - 4

Subtract 4x and add 12x on both sides.

8x - 4x + 12x = 12 - 4

Combine like terms.

16x = 8

Divide both sides by 16.

x = 8/16 = 1/2

Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4x+2) = 4x - 12(x-1)

Distribute

8x +4 = 4x - 12x +12

Combine like terms

8x + 4 = -8x +12

Add 8x to each side

8x+4+8x = -8x+12 +8x

16x+4 = 12

Subtract 4 from each side

16x +4-4 = 12-4

16x = 8

Divide by 16

16x/16 =8/16

x = 1/2

The answer is 8 because you use the order of operations. So it would be 16 divided by 4, then you would do 4+4 which is 8
