let's bear in mind that we have two fractions whose denominators are 2 and 4, thus their LCD will be 4, now let's multiply both side by that LCD to do away with the fractions, but let's add some first.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
