Question 678801
Multiply the entire equation by 4 to be rid of the fraction
...
{{{4((1/4)(x+3)) = 4(4x) - 4(2(x-3))}}}
...
(x+3) = 16x - 8(x-3)
Distribute the 8
x+3 = 16x - 8x + 24
...
Group the x variables on the left
x - 16x + 8x = 24 - 3
Combine like terms
-7x = 21
...
Divide both sides by -7
{{{highlight_green(x=-3)}}}
