4%28x%2B2%29-3x=x-6 Start with the given equation



4x%2B8-3x=x-6 Distribute


x%2B8=x-6 Combine like terms on the left side


x=x-6-8Subtract 8 from both sides


x-x=-6-8 Subtract x from both sides


0x=-6-8 Combine like terms on the left side


0x=-14 Combine like terms on the right side


0=-14 Simplify

Since this equation is never true for any x value, this means there are no solutions.
