2x-6=\frac{1}{2}\left(4x-12\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-3.
2x-6=\frac{1}{2}\times 4x+\frac{1}{2}\left(-12\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply \frac{1}{2} by 4x-12.
2x-6=\frac{4}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}\left(-12\right)
Multiply \frac{1}{2} and 4 to get \frac{4}{2}.
2x-6=2x+\frac{1}{2}\left(-12\right)
Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.
2x-6=2x+\frac{-12}{2}
Multiply \frac{1}{2} and -12 to get \frac{-12}{2}.
2x-6=2x-6
Divide -12 by 2 to get -6.
2x-6-2x=-6
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-6=-6
Combine 2x and -2x to get 0.
\text{true}
Compare -6 and -6.
x\in \mathrm{C}
This is true for any x.
