7%28x-2%29%2B8=3%282x%2B3%29 Start with the given equation.


7x-14%2B8=6x%2B9 Distribute.


7x-6=6x%2B9 Combine like terms on the left side.


7x=6x%2B9%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


7x-6x=9%2B6 Subtract 6x from both sides.


x=9%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=15 Combine like terms on the right side.

Answer:

So the solution is x=15
