    7x-6x = 0 ?

    13x -2(3x -4) = 6(x +2) -4 =
    13x -6x +8 = 6x +12 -4 =
    7x +8 = 6x +8 =
    7x +8 -8 = 6x +8 -8 =
    7x - 6x = 6x -6x =x
    x or 0 ?

    x = 0 is the solution to the equation.

    You can see this by plugging it into the original equation:

    13x - 2(3x-4) = 6(x+2)-4

    13(0) - 2(3(0)-4) = 6(0+2)-4

    - 2(-4) = 6(2)-4

    8 = 12-4

    8 = 8

    Yey.
