Answer:
\huge\boxed{\ x=12 }

Explanation:

Hi there!

I am going to tell you the steps so that you understand the consept of this question.

  1. Step 1:Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction
  • 1/6 x + 2/3 ⋅ x + 4 = x + 2
  • 1x /6 + 2/3 ⋅ x + 4 = x + 2

2. Step 2:Multiply by 1

  • 1x/6+2/3⋅x+4=x+2
  • x/6+2/3⋅x+4=x+2

3. Step 3:Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction

  • x6+2/3x+4=x+2
  • x/6+2x/3+4=x+2

I am sure you are getting it now just do the following:

1.Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.

2.Simplify.

3.Subtract x from both sides of the equation.

4.Then Simplify.

5.Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators.

6.Simplify agiain

7.Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

8.Simplify again

9. And finally we made it ...Solution

Hope this really does help!
