How do i solve this equation for x?

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.2(2x+12)(23)=3283x+16=32Step 2: Subtract 16 from both sides.83x+16−16=32−1683x=16Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3/8.(38)*(83x)=(38)*(16)x=6x=6

Ok so it's saying 2 * ( 2x + 12 )* 2/3 = 32

We need to solve for x.  First we multiply 2 by everything in the parenthisis. 

That leaves us with 4x + 24 * 2/3 = 32.   Now we do 24 * 2/3 = 16

So 4x + 16 = 32      We need x alone so we subtract 16 from both sides, leaving us with 4x = 16      Now we divide both sides by 4

So x = 4

You have to put the answer options on here in order for us to know which statement to tell you is correct.

I’m pretty sure the slope would be 1 since the x and y values increase by 1
