Here's the answer
4(3 - 6)= 6(x+2)+20
4(-3)=6x+12+20
-12=6x+32
0=6x+44
-44=6x
x= - 44/6
x= - 7.33

4(3 - 6)= 6(x+2)+20
4(-3) = 6x+12+20
-12 = 6x + 32
-44 = 6x
x = -22/3

simplify and multiply through
4 (3-6) = 4(-3) = -12
6(x+2)= 6x +12
-12 = 6x + 12 + 20 = 6x + 32
-44 = 6x
x = -7.33
now check it out by putting it back into the original eqn
-12 = 6(-7.33 +2) +20 = -12
yup all good
x = -7.33
hope this helps

First, distribute.
12 - 24 = 6x +12 +20
Then combine like terms..
-12 = 6x + 32
Move the 32 over.
-44 = 6x
Get x by itself:
x = -44/6
Simplify:
x = -22/3
Simple as that. =)

use the distributive property
12-24=6x+12+20
-12=6x+(12+20)
-12=6x+32
-38=6x
-44/6=x
x=7 1/3

this is a easy linear equation..
4(-3)=6x+12+20
-12=6x+32
-44=6x
-22/3=x
x= -22/3 or -7.3333333333333333......
