Answer:

x=-3

Explanation:

4x+6=8x+18

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

4x+6=8x+18

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+4x-8x=+18-6

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

-4x=+12

We divide both sides of the equation by -4 to get x.

x=-3
