Answer:

x=10

Explanation:

Multiply the numbers

2⋅3x=[12(4x+20)]⋅22⋅3=[12(4+20)]⋅2

6x=[12(4x+20)]⋅26=[12(4+20)]⋅2

Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction

6x=[12(4x+20)]⋅26=[12(4+20)]⋅2

6x=[1(4x+20)2]⋅26=⎣⎡1(4+20)2⎦⎤⋅2

Multiply by 1

6x=[1(4x+20)2]⋅26=⎣⎡1(4+20)2⎦⎤⋅2

6x=[4x+20/2]⋅26=[4+20/2]⋅2

Re-order terms so constants are on the left

6x=4x+20/2⋅26=4+20/2⋅2

6x=2⋅4x+20/2

Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

6x=2⋅4x+20/2

6x=4x+20

Subtract 4x from both sides

6x=4x+20

6−4=4+20−4

Simplify

6x-4x=4x+20-4x

2x=4x+20-4x

Combine like terms

2x=20

Divide both sides by the same factor

2x=20

2x/2=20/2

cancel 2 on both sides

20 divided by 2 is 10

so therefore,

x=10
