Answer= 16

6x-12=4x+20 then you subtract 4 from 6 because they have the same variable which gives you..
2x-12=20 then you distribute the 12. so 12+12 cancels out and then 20+12 gives you 32 so..
2x=32 then you divide both sides by 2 which gives you..
x=16

Answer: x=16

Explanation:

Knowing that the sideways lines are parallels, the corner of them are equal to each other. Using this information, we can create an equation.

6x-12=4x+20

2x-12=20

2x=32

x=16.
