Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In math we always use the distributive property first to get rid of the "( )"

2(x+6)/4 = (2x+12)/4

Now the second step is to solve the linear equation: (2x+12)/4=3x-2

First to get rid of the /4, we can multiply both sides by 4.

We will be left with 2x+12=12x-8

Just simply solve the linear equation by combining like terms:

2x+12=12x-8 is   20=10x

Therefore x=2
