To solve the equation 6(2x+4)−24=12x, we will first distribute the 6 to the terms inside the parentheses:

12x + 24 - 24 = 12x

Next, we can combine like terms:

12x = 12x

We can see that both sides of the equation are equal, so no matter what value we substitute for x, the equation will always be true. Therefore, the equation has infinite solutions.

Answer: The equation has infinite solutions.
