Answer:

answer is x=5, not x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't really understand how this is structured, but the correct way of solving this is

2(3x − 4) = 8 + 2x + 4

do distributive property.

6x - 8 =  8 + 2x + 4

subtract 2x on both sides.

you get...

4x - 8 = 12

add 8 on both sides.

4x =20

divide by 4

x = 5
