Answer: x = 2y

Explanation:

Let's solve for x.

2(3x+4y)=4x+12y

Step 1: Add -4x to both sides.

6x+8y+−4x=4x+12y+−4x

2x+8y=12y

Step 2: Add -8y to both sides.

2x+8y+−8y=12y+−8y

2x=4y

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

4y

2

x=2y

Answer:

x=2y

Solve for x

2 ( 3x + 4y ) = 4x + 12y

6x + 8y = 4x + 12y

6x + 8y - 4x = 12y

2x + 8y = 12y

2x = 12y - 8y

2x = 4y

2x / 2 = 4y / 2

x = 4y / 2

x = 2y

Sorry if I'm wrong
