x=-6

solution: 6x-8x=12 is the result if you simplify the second term in the equation. we need to let x remain, therefore, -2x=12 into x=-12\2 x=-6

Answer: The value of x is -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the value of 'x', we need to solve each function happening inthe equation.

The equation provided to us is
6x-2(4x)=12

To solve this, we will multiply 4x with 2 and then subtract the like terms and finally, we evaluate the value of 'x'.


6x-8x=12\\\\-2x=12\\\\x=(12)/(-2)\\\\x=-6

Hence, the value of x will be -6.
