    Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

    2 (4x+2) = 4x-12 (x-1)

    Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

    2 (4x+2) = 4x-12 (x-1)

    (2) (4x) + (2) (2) = 4x + (-12) (x) + (-12) (-1) (Distribute)

    8x+4=4x+-12x+12

    8x+4 = (4x+-12x) + (12) (Combine Like Terms)

    8x+4=-8x+12

    8x+4=-8x+12

    Step 2: Add 8x to both sides.

    8x+4+8x=-8x+12+8x

    16x+4=12

    Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.

    16x+4-4=12-4

    16x=8

    Step 4: Divide both sides by 16.

    16x/16=8/16

    So, the answer for this problem is x=1/2.

    1/2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    8x+4=4x-12x+12

    8x+4=-8x+12

    16x+4=12

    16x=8

    x=8/16=1/2
