The question is a very difficult one to answer. So, rather than describe how to solve

the equation, it'll be much easier and faster if we just go ahead and solve it.

6 (x - 8) = 2x + 12

Clear parentheses on the lft side:

6x - 48 = 2x + 12

Subtract 2x from each side:

4x - 48 = 12

Add 48 to each side:

4x = 60

Divide each side by 4:

x = 15
