Question 99853
{{{6x-4(2x+1)=12}}} Start with the given equation



{{{6x-8x-4=12}}} Distribute



{{{-2x-4=12}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{-2x=12+4}}}Add 4 to both sides



{{{-2x=16}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(16)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x




{{{x=-8}}} Divide
