6x+4(3x-2) = 6x+2 distribute 4 through parenthesis
6x+12x-8 = 6x+2 combine like terms on each side of = sign
18x-8 = 6x+2 add 8 to both sides & simplify
18x-8(+8x) = 6x+2(+8)
18x = 6x+10 subtract 6x from both sides & simplify
18x (-6x) = 6x(-6x)+10
12x = 10 divide both sides by 12 to isolate your variable & simplify
12x/12 = 10/12
x = 10/12 reduce your fraction
x = 5/6 --> --> --> --> is your answer
**** if you wanted to check your answer then you just put 5/6 in the original equation every time there is an x and then solve each side and check to make sure they are equal

1. Distribute.
6x + 12x - 8 = 6x + 2
2. Combine like terms
18x - 8 = 6x + 2
3. Simplify the equation so you have x on one side and the real number on the other.
18x - 6x = 2 + 8
12x = 10
4. Divide 12 on both sides.
x = 10/12 or 5/6

6x + 12x - 8 = 6x + 2
12x = 10
x = 10 / 12 = 5 / 6

6x + 4(3x -2) = 6x + 2
12x - 8 = 2
12x = 2 + 8
12x = 10
x = 10/12
x = 5/6

6x + 4(3x-2) = 6x + 2
6x + 12x - 8 = 6x + 2
18x - 8 = 6x + 2
12x = 10
x = 10/12 = 5/6
What was the problem?

6x + 12x - 8 = 6x + 2
Subtract 6x from both sides and 8 add to both sides:
12x = 10
Divide both sides by 12:
x = 10/12 = 5/6
Now, check the answer:
(6(5/6)) + 4(3(5/6) - 2) = (6(5/6) + 2)
5 + 10 - 8 = 5 + 2
7 = 7

6x + 12x -8=6x + 2
18x-6x=8+2
12x=10
x=10/12=5/6
