2\times 2\left(2x+3\right)+8x=5\times 3\left(x-2\right)-\left(5x-6\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 5,2,10.
4\left(2x+3\right)+8x=5\times 3\left(x-2\right)-\left(5x-6\right)
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
8x+12+8x=5\times 3\left(x-2\right)-\left(5x-6\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2x+3.
16x+12=5\times 3\left(x-2\right)-\left(5x-6\right)
Combine 8x and 8x to get 16x.
16x+12=15\left(x-2\right)-\left(5x-6\right)
Multiply 5 and 3 to get 15.
16x+12=15x-30-\left(5x-6\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 15 by x-2.
16x+12=15x-30-5x-\left(-6\right)
To find the opposite of 5x-6, find the opposite of each term.
16x+12=15x-30-5x+6
The opposite of -6 is 6.
16x+12=10x-30+6
Combine 15x and -5x to get 10x.
16x+12=10x-24
Add -30 and 6 to get -24.
16x+12-10x=-24
Subtract 10x from both sides.
6x+12=-24
Combine 16x and -10x to get 6x.
6x=-24-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
6x=-36
Subtract 12 from -24 to get -36.
x=\frac{-36}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=-6
Divide -36 by 6 to get -6.
