6(2 - x) = 4x
Distribute the 6.
6(2) - 6x = 4x
Simplify.
12 - 6x = 4x
Move everything with an x to the left hand side, and everything without an x to the right hand side.
-6x - 4x = -12
Group like terms.
-10x = -12
Divide both sides by (-10) to isolate the x.
x = (-12)/(-10)
The right hand side reduces.
x = 12/10
x = 6/5

6 (2 - x) = 4x (expand the bracket)
12 - 6x = 4x (then add 6x to both sides of the equal sign)
12 = 10x (divide both sides by 10)
1.2 = x

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