Answer:

x=19

Explanation:

8(3x-2)-8x=9(2x-6) Distribute.

24x-16-8x=18x-54 Combine like terms.

16x-16=18x-54 Subtract 16x from both sides (getting rid of a variable first

-16x -16x is easier).

-16=2x-54 Add 54 to both sides.

+54 +54

38=2x Divide both sides by 2.

/2 /2

19=x

Hope this helps!! Have a great day ^^
