Question 360008: On my son's homework there are two question where we are stuck. it is another equation with variables on both sides. He says it is a no solution problem
I can get this far and no further
3(4x-2)=12x
12x-6=12x? what next? do i subtract 12x from both sides or add a 6 to both sides?

either way will lead you to a contradiction

subtracting 12x ___ -6 = 0

it seems your son is correct
