2\left(x^{2}-6\right)=2xx+2x\times \frac{3}{2}
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x, the least common multiple of x,2.
2x^{2}-12=2xx+2x\times \frac{3}{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x^{2}-6.
2x^{2}-12=2x^{2}+2x\times \frac{3}{2}
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
2x^{2}-12=2x^{2}+3x
Multiply 2 and \frac{3}{2} to get 3.
2x^{2}-12-2x^{2}=3x
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides.
-12=3x
Combine 2x^{2} and -2x^{2} to get 0.
3x=-12
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{-12}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=-4
Divide -12 by 3 to get -4.
