-5%28x-6%29-3x=-4%282x-6%29......first multiply
-5%2Ax-5%2A%28-6%29-3x=-4%2A2x-4%2A%28-6%29
-5x%2B30-3x=-8x%2B24
-8x%2B30=-8x%2B24....add 8x to both sides
-8x%2B8x%2B30=-8x%2B8x%2B24...as you can see 8x and -8x cancel each other and we get:
30=24.....which is not true statement
if so, no solution exist
