Answer:

x=1

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to combine like terms and distribute and solve for x.

First, combine like terms on the left side.

12x=4(x+2)

Now, distribute on the right side.

12x=4x+8

Now, subtract 4x on both sides.

4x-4x=0

12x-4x=8x

8x=8

Now, divide by 8 on both sides.

8x/8=x

8/8=1

The answer would be x=1
