The answer is A. x=4.
Start off by distributing the parentheses into the equation.
4x+2(x+6)=36
4x+2x+12=26
Combine like terms.
4x+2x=6x
6x+12=36
Now solve the equation as normal. Begin by subtracting 12 from both sides to isolate the variable.
6x+12=36
-12 -12
---------------
6x = 24
Divide 6 on both sides to find x.
6x=24
---- -----
6 6
x=4
The solution to the equation is 4.
