2x+4+2\left(3x-2\right)=4\times 8
Variable x cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 8\left(x+1\right), the least common multiple of 8x+8,4x+4,2x+2.
2x+4+6x-4=4\times 8
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 3x-2.
8x+4-4=4\times 8
Combine 2x and 6x to get 8x.
8x=4\times 8
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
8x=32
Multiply 4 and 8 to get 32.
x=\frac{32}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=4
Divide 32 by 8 to get 4.
