To get the answer for this problem you must simplify the left side first (gives you 24x−12=4(6x+4)−4), then you must simplify the right side now that you did the left side (gives you 24x−12=24x+12). The equation now becomes −12=12. Don't forget to flip!! 12 doesn't equal -12 (because it's a negative.) Your answer is no solution.
