%281%2F2%29%286x-12%29=4x%2B6 Start with the given equation.


3x-6=4x%2B6 Distribute.


3x=4x%2B6%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


3x-4x=6%2B6 Subtract 4x from both sides.


-x=6%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-x=12 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2812%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x.


x=-12 Reduce.
