    Well I don't know what you mean by justify, but here is how I would go about it:

    2 (3x-4) = 5x+6

    Distribute the 2:

    6x-8=5x+6

    Add the 8 to the other side, because it's a negative

    6x-8=5x+6

    +8 + 8

    Then you would have 6x=5x+14

    Subtract the 5x

    6x=5x+14

    -5x

    1x=14

    Divide by 1

    x=14

    Your answer is x=14
