Expand brackets: 12-2x=6x+6
Solve as usual:
12 = 8x - 6. (Add 2x to each side)
18 = 8x. (Add 6 to each side)
x = 18/8
x = 2.25

2(6 - x) = 3(2x + 2)
I got x = 0.75
2(6 - x) = 3(2x + 2)
I got x = 0.75
1. Expand brackets
Gives 12 - 2x = 6x +6
2. Put constants on one side, variables on the other
Gives 6 = 8x
3. Divide by the variable coefficient
Gives x = 0.75.
The book is either wrong or you have misread the question.
Sorry you was right I read it wrong I must have been tired last night 
The question was actually 2(6 - x) = 3(2x + 12)
The question was actually 2(6 - x) = 3(2x + 12)Original post by JLegion
