Answer:

x = -1/6

Explanation:

Firstly, you need to expand the brackets. So this would give, 8 + 12x - 6.

Then you collect like terms to give, 12x + 2. After this, we solve for x. To do this we need to assume that all this is = 0. Then it's easy to solve:

12x + 2 = 0

12x = -2

x = -2/12

x = -1/6
