Answer:

[See Below]

Explanation:

✦ Combine like terms by adding:

✧ 6x + 6x = 12x

✦ Rewrite the equation:

✧ 12x + 2 < 14

✦ Subtract 2 on each side:

✧ 2 - 2 = Cancels Out

✧ 14 - 2 = 12

✦ Rewrite once more:

✧ 12x < 12

✦ Divide by 12 on each side:

✧ 12 / 12 = Cancels Out

✧ 12x / 12 = 1

So x = 1

The simplified version of the equation would be x < 1 because

- (12x) x 1 = 12x
