6x-3%286-5x%29%2B3x=10-4%282-x%29 Start with the given equation.


6x-18%2B15x%2B3x=10-8%2B4x Distribute.


24x-18=10-8%2B4x Combine like terms on the left side.


24x-18=4x%2B2 Combine like terms on the right side.


24x=4x%2B2%2B18 Add 18 to both sides.


24x-4x=2%2B18 Subtract 4x from both sides.


20x=2%2B18 Combine like terms on the left side.


20x=20 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2820%29%2F%2820%29 Divide both sides by 20 to isolate x.


x=1 Reduce.
