6x+4(3x-2)=6x+2
6x+12x-8=6x+2
6x+12x-6x=2+8
12x=10
x=10/12
x=5/6
proof
6*5/6+4(3*5/6-2)=6*5/6+2
5+4(5/2-2)=5+2
5+4(1/2)=7
5+2=7
7=7

First you need to distribute the 4 to the 3x and the negative 2. Remember that a negative times a positive is a negative. Then, you should combine the 6x and the 12x, and move the 6x (on the right) to the left. Then you need to move the negative 8 over to the 2. Then you need to get the x by itself, so divide both sides by 12! Then you have your answer!
6x + 4(3x � 2) = 6x + 2
6x + 12x - 8 = 6x + 2
12x = 8
x = 2/3

Solve.
6x + 4(3x � 2) = 6x + 2
4(3x-2)=6x+2-6x
12x-8=2
12x=8+2
12x=10
x=10/12
x=5/6
Check.
5+4(15/6-2)=5+2
5+4(1/2)=7
5+2=7
7=7
