Answer:

x = 14/23

Explanation:

3x−6=4(2−3x)−8x

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2−3x.

3x−6=8−12x−8x

Combine −12x and −8x to get −20x.

3x−6=8−20x

Add 20x to both sides.

3x−6+20x=8

Combine 3x and 20x to get 23x.

23x−6=8

Add 6 to both sides.

23x=8+6

Add 8 and 6 to get 14.

23x=14

Divide both sides by 23.

x= 14/23
