6(2-X)=4X
12-6X=4X
-6X-4X=-12
-10X=-12
X=-12/-10
X=1.2 ANSWER.
6(2-1.2)=4*1.2
6*.8=4.8
4.8=4.8

6%282-x%29=4x
12-6x=4x........move -6x to the right
12+=+4x+%2B+6x+........
12+=+10x........
12%2F10+=+x........
6%2F5+=+x........
1%281%2F5%29+=+x........or
x+=+1%281%2F5%29

6%282-1x%29=4x Start with the given equation



12-6x=4x Distribute


-6x=4x-12Subtract 12 from both sides


-6x-4x=-12 Subtract 4x from both sides


-10x=-12 Combine like terms on the left side


x=%28-12%29%2F%28-10%29 Divide both sides by -10 to isolate x



x=6%2F5 Reduce

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x=6%2F5 (which is approximately x=1.2 in decimal form)
