-2=7x-2\left(6+2x\right)
Add -4 and 2 to get -2.
-2=7x-12-4x
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 6+2x.
-2=3x-12
Combine 7x and -4x to get 3x.
3x-12=-2
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3x=-2+12
Add 12 to both sides.
3x=10
Add -2 and 12 to get 10.
x=\frac{10}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
