Answer:

The answer to your question is x = x

Explanation:

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

Process

1.- Expand

-2x - 12 + 6x = 4x - 12

2.- Simplify

4x - 12 = 4x - 12

3.- Add 12 in both sides

4x - 12 + 12 = 4x - 12 + 12

4.- Simplify

4x = 4x

5.- Divide by 4 both sides

4x/4 = 4x/4

6.- Simplify

x = x
