$x=-2/7$

$6(1-x)=4(1+2x)+6$

Expand all brackets.

$6-6x=4+8x+6$

Combine like-terms.

$6-6x=10+8x$

Isolate $x$ onto one side.

$6=10+14x$

Subtract $10$ from both sides to eliminate the $10$ on the $RHS$ .

$-4=14x$

Divide by $14$ to get $x$ .

$x=-4/14$

Simplify the fraction by dividing by $2$ .

$x=-2/7$
