3%28x-6%29-4%283x%2B1%29=x-22
I assume you want to solve for x. To do this, simplify the expression and combine "like" terms.
==================
Multiply out the factors:
3x-18-12x-4=x-22
Get all x terms on one side of the equation:
3x-12x-x=-22%2B18%2B4
Combine like terms:
-10x=0
Solve for x:
highlight%28x=0%29

Good Luck,
