2%284x-3%29-8=4%2B2x Start with the given equation.


8x-6-8=4%2B2x Distribute.


8x-14=4%2B2x Combine like terms on the left side.


8x=4%2B2x%2B14 Add 14 to both sides.


8x-2x=4%2B14 Subtract 2x from both sides.


6x=4%2B14 Combine like terms on the left side.


6x=18 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2818%29%2F%286%29 Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.


x=3 Reduce.
