8x-6\left(3x-1\right)=11-12x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,2,12.
8x-18x+6=11-12x
Use the distributive property to multiply -6 by 3x-1.
-10x+6=11-12x
Combine 8x and -18x to get -10x.
-10x+6+12x=11
Add 12x to both sides.
2x+6=11
Combine -10x and 12x to get 2x.
2x=11-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
2x=5
Subtract 6 from 11 to get 5.
x=\frac{5}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
