Add 8 and 12 to get 20.
1/4⋅(−6x+20)

Multiply 1/4 by −6x+20 to get (1/4)(−6x+20).
(1/4)(−6x+20)

Apply the distributive property.
(1/4)(−6x)+(1/4)(20)

Simplify.
−6x/4+(1/4)(20)

Cancel 4.
−6x/4+5

Simplify each term.
3x/2+5

Answer:
3x/2+5

1/4 ( 8 - 6 x + 12 ) = 2 - 6X/4 + 3 =0
6X/4 = 5
6X = 20
X = 3 1/3
