6x-%284-x%29=3x Start with the given equation.


6x-4%2Bx=3x Distribute.


7x-4=3x Combine like terms on the left side.


7x=3x%2B4 Add 4 to both sides.


7x-3x=4 Subtract 3x from both sides.


4x=4 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=%284%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.


x=1 Reduce.
