Answer:

x=6

Step by step explanation:

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

3(3x-8)=4x+6

Reorder the terms in parentheses

+(+9x-24)=4x+6

Remove unnecessary parentheses

+9x-24=+4x+6

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

+9x-4x=+6+24

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+5x=+30

We divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get x.

x=6
