Answer:

[tex]\huge{\boxed{\sf{10}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2(x - 4 ) = 12[/tex]

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

⇒[tex]2*x - 2*4 = 12\\[/tex]

⇒[tex]2x - 8 = 12\\[/tex]

Move 8 to right hand side and change its sign.

⇒[tex]2x=12+8[/tex]

Add the numbers: 12 and 8

⇒[tex]2x=20[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

⇒[tex]\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{20}{2}[/tex]

⇒[tex]x = 10[/tex]

The value of x is 10.

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
