Question 262370


{{{3(2x-2)-4(x-6)=3x+8+x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{6x-6-4x+24=3x+8+x}}} Distribute.



{{{2x+18=3x+8+x}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{2x+18=4x+8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{2x=4x+8-18}}} Subtract {{{18}}} from both sides.



{{{2x-4x=8-18}}} Subtract {{{4x}}} from both sides.



{{{-2x=8-18}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-2x=-10}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-10)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=5}}} Reduce.
