Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, distribute the numerator. That leaves you with:

[tex]\frac{6x-12}{12} =\frac{2x+2}{7}[/tex]

2. Now, cross multiply. You should have:

[tex]7(6x-12)=12(2x+2)[/tex]

3. Next, simplify and solve the equation for x. You should have:

[tex]7(6x-12)=12(2x+2)[/tex]

[tex]42x-84=24x+24\\42x=24x+108\\18x=108x=6[/tex]
