3%28x-2%29%2B2x=4%282x%2B3%29 Start with the given equation.


3x-6%2B2x=8x%2B12 Distribute.


5x-6=8x%2B12 Combine like terms on the left side.


5x=8x%2B12%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


5x-8x=12%2B6 Subtract 8x from both sides.


-3x=12%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3x=18 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2818%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x.


x=-6 Reduce.
