x-2=12\left(x+4\right)-60
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
x-2=12x+48-60
Use the distributive property to multiply 12 by x+4.
x-2=12x-12
Subtract 60 from 48 to get -12.
x-2-12x=-12
Subtract 12x from both sides.
-11x-2=-12
Combine x and -12x to get -11x.
-11x=-12+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-11x=-10
Add -12 and 2 to get -10.
x=\frac{-10}{-11}
Divide both sides by -11.
x=\frac{10}{11}
Fraction \frac{-10}{-11} can be simplified to \frac{10}{11} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
