2x+12=4x

Make two equations, and solve for x.

1. 2x+12= 4x 2. 2x+12= -4x subtract 2x from both sides
12=2x 12= -6x
6=x -2=x
plug in the x values to know if they are the solution for the eqaution.
2(6) +12= 4(6) 2(-2) +12= -4(-2)
12+12= 24 -4+12=8
24=24 8=8

The equation is true, it's all real numbers or infinite solutions.
