Given equation:


2(3x+6)-96=6(2x-4)-56

Solve the equation to find the value of x,


\begin{gathered} 2(3x+6)-96=6(2x-4)-56 \\ 2(3x)+2(6)-96=6(2x)-6(4)-56 \\ 6x+12-96=12x-24-56 \\ 6x-84=12x-80 \\ -84+80=12x-6x \\ -4=6x \\ x=(-4)/(6) \\ x=-(2)/(3) \end{gathered}

Hence, x=-2/3

Answer: option B) is correct
