Answer:
x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2(x - 4) = 6(x + 2)[/tex] (Expand)
[tex]2x-8=6x+12[/tex]
[tex]2x-8+8=6x+12+8[/tex] (Add 8 to both sides)
[tex]2x=6x+20[/tex] (Simplify)
[tex]2x-6x=6x+20-6x[/tex] (Subtract 6x from both sides)
[tex]-4x=20[/tex]
[tex]\cfrac{-4x}{-4}=\cfrac{20}{-4}[/tex] ( Divide)
[tex]x=-5[/tex]
