Line ab is parallel to cd. Solve for x. ab is (6x-12). cd is (4x+2)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are talking about a parallelogram ABCD, then

6x - 12 = 4x +2.

Solve it for x.

The opposite sides of a parallelogram have equal dimensions.

The way how you do formulate your problem is incorrect.
Always start with the description of the major figure.
