Answer
$$ x = -\dfrac{7}{3} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 6x-12 &= 12x+2&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 12x } $ to the left side and $ \color{blue}{ -12 }$ to the right} \\[1 em]6x-12x &= 2+12&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]-6x &= 14&& \text{ divide both sides by $ -6 $ } \\[1 em]x &= -\frac{14}{6}&& \\[1 em]x &= -\frac{7}{3}&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
