6%28x-3%29=4%28x%2B1%29 Start with the given equation.


6x-18=4x%2B4 Distribute.


6x=4x%2B4%2B18 Add 18 to both sides.


6x-4x=4%2B18 Subtract 4x from both sides.


2x=4%2B18 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x=22 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2822%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


x=11 Reduce.
