6x^{2}-12=2x\left(3x-4\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{4}{3} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3x-4.
6x^{2}-12=6x^{2}-8x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x by 3x-4.
6x^{2}-12-6x^{2}=-8x
Subtract 6x^{2} from both sides.
-12=-8x
Combine 6x^{2} and -6x^{2} to get 0.
-8x=-12
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{-12}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
x=\frac{3}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-12}{-8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -4.
