6(x-2)=8(2x+3)
Step 1:multiply what is out of the brackets by what is in the brackets.
6(x-2)=8(2x+3)
6x-12=16x+24
Step 2: get x one one side and the integers on the other by doing the inverse of the interger or the variable.
6x-12=16x+24
-6x -24. -6x. -24
-12-24=16x-6x
Step: 3 subtract -12-24=-36 and 16x-6x =10x
Step 4: isolate the variable by dividing by the integer for instance 10 in this case
-36=10x
/10./10
x=-3.6
