Answer:

It's   -8

Step-by-step explanation:

DISTRIBUTE :

4x + 2( x - 2 ) = 4x + x - 12

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

COMBINE LIKE TERMS :

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

6x - 4 = 4x + x - 12

COMBINE LIKE TERMS :

6x - 4 = 4x + x - 12

6x - 4 = 5x - 12

ADD 4 TO BOTH SIDES :

6x - 4 = 5x - 12

6x - 4 + 4 = 5x - 12 + 4

ADD THE NUMBERS/ SIMPLIFY :

6x = 5x - 8

SUBTRACT 5x FROM BOTH SIDES :

6x = 5x - 8

6x - 5x = 5x - 8 - 5x

SIMPLIFY :

x = -8
