Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

2(6x + 4) - 6 + 2x = 3(4x + 3) + 1

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Distribute:                                   12x + 8 - 6 + 2x = 12x + 9 + 1
2. Combine like terms:                   14x + 2 = 12x + 10
3. Subtract 12x on both sides:       2x + 2 = 10
4. Subtract 2 on both sides:          2x = 8
5. Divide 2 on both sides:              x = 4
