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