We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
3x+2(4x+2)=2(6x+1)
Reorder the terms in parentheses
3x+(+8x+4)=2*(6x+1)
Remove unnecessary parentheses
+3x+8x+4=+2+*(+6x+1+)
Reorder the terms in parentheses
3x+8x+4=+(+12x+2)
Remove unnecessary parentheses
+3x+8x+4=+12x+2
We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
+3x+8x-12x=+2-4
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
-1x=-2
We divide both sides of the equation by -1 to get x.
x=2
