6(2 - x) = 4x
12 - 6x = 4x
10x = 12
x = 12/10
x = 1.2

Our equation is 6(2-x)=4x.
Use distributive property to expand the left hand side.
We get, 6*2 - 6*x = 4x.
That is, 12 - 6x = 4x.
Add +6x on both the sides.
12 - 6x + 6x = 4x + 6x.
That is, 12 = 10x.
That is, 10x = 12.
That is, x = 12/10.
That is, x = 1.2

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)
