The initial expression is:


6m+3=(2x-4)/(2)

To solve for x, we need to multiply both sides by 2, as:


\begin{gathered} (6m+3)\cdot2=(2x-4)/(2)\cdot2 \\ 12m´+6=2x-4 \end{gathered}

Adding 4 on both sides, we get:


\begin{gathered} 12m´+6+4=2x-4+4 \\ 12m+10=2x \end{gathered}

Dividing by 2 on both sides:


\begin{gathered} (12m+10)/(2)=(2x)/(2) \\ 6m+5=x \end{gathered}

Answer: x = 6m + 5
