2\left(x-3\right)-\left(2+x\right)=4\left(2-x\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4.
2x-6-\left(2+x\right)=4\left(2-x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-3.
2x-6-2-x=4\left(2-x\right)
To find the opposite of 2+x, find the opposite of each term.
2x-8-x=4\left(2-x\right)
Subtract 2 from -6 to get -8.
x-8=4\left(2-x\right)
Combine 2x and -x to get x.
x-8=8-4x
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2-x.
x-8+4x=8
Add 4x to both sides.
5x-8=8
Combine x and 4x to get 5x.
5x=8+8
Add 8 to both sides.
5x=16
Add 8 and 8 to get 16.
x=\frac{16}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
