x+6+2\times 3=2\left(x+4\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4x^{2}, the least common multiple of 4x^{2},2x^{2}.
x+6+6=2\left(x+4\right)
Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.
x+12=2\left(x+4\right)
Add 6 and 6 to get 12.
x+12=2x+8
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+4.
x+12-2x=8
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-x+12=8
Combine x and -2x to get -x.
-x=8-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
-x=-4
Subtract 12 from 8 to get -4.
x=4
Multiply both sides by -1.
