6-6%283x-4%29=-60 Start with the given equation.


6-18x%2B24=-60 Distribute.


-18x%2B30=-60 Combine like terms on the left side.


-18x=-60-30 Subtract 30 from both sides.


-18x=-90 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-90%29%2F%28-18%29 Divide both sides by -18 to isolate x.


x=5 Reduce.
