3(6x-4)=24
Expand:
3(6x)=18x
3(-4)=-12
That gives, 18x-12=24
Subtract 12 from both sides to get 18x=12
x=12/18
Divide the numerator and the denominator by 6 to get:
x=2/3 which is the simplest form.

Hope this helped

Divide 3 by both sides
6x-4=8
Add 4 on both sides
6x=12
divide 12 by 6
Answer: x=2
