-4%282-3x%29=7-2%28x-3%29 Start with the given equation.


-8%2B12x=7-2x%2B6 Distribute.


-8%2B12x=-2x%2B13 Combine like terms on the right side.


12x=-2x%2B13%2B8 Add 8 to both sides.


12x%2B2x=13%2B8 Add 2x to both sides.


14x=13%2B8 Combine like terms on the left side.


14x=21 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2821%29%2F%2814%29 Divide both sides by 14 to isolate x.


x=3%2F2 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=3%2F2
