2\left(x-2\right)-12x=12-2x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,4,6.
2x-4-12x=12-2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-2.
-10x-4=12-2x
Combine 2x and -12x to get -10x.
-10x-4+2x=12
Add 2x to both sides.
-8x-4=12
Combine -10x and 2x to get -8x.
-8x=12+4
Add 4 to both sides.
-8x=16
Add 12 and 4 to get 16.
x=\frac{16}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
x=-2
Divide 16 by -8 to get -2.
