Answer: x=+2

Step-by-step explanation:2x-6=12x-26

We move all terms to the left:

2x-6-(12x-26)=0

We get rid of parentheses

2x-12x+26-6=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-10x+20=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-10x=-20

x=-20/-10

x=+2
