6\left(2-x\right)+2\left(x-1\right)+6=3\times 4\left(x-2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
12-6x+2\left(x-1\right)+6=3\times 4\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 2-x.
12-6x+2x-2+6=3\times 4\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-1.
12-4x-2+6=3\times 4\left(x-2\right)
Combine -6x and 2x to get -4x.
10-4x+6=3\times 4\left(x-2\right)
Subtract 2 from 12 to get 10.
16-4x=3\times 4\left(x-2\right)
Add 10 and 6 to get 16.
16-4x=12\left(x-2\right)
Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.
16-4x=12x-24
Use the distributive property to multiply 12 by x-2.
16-4x-12x=-24
Subtract 12x from both sides.
16-16x=-24
Combine -4x and -12x to get -16x.
-16x=-24-16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
-16x=-40
Subtract 16 from -24 to get -40.
x=\frac{-40}{-16}
Divide both sides by -16.
x=\frac{5}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-40}{-16} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -8.
