4x+12=2\left(x+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+3.
4x+12=2x+4
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+2.
4x+12-2x=4
Subtract 2x from both sides.
2x+12=4
Combine 4x and -2x to get 2x.
2x=4-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
2x=-8
Subtract 12 from 4 to get -8.
x=\frac{-8}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=-4
Divide -8 by 2 to get -4.
