-4\left(2x-4\right)=3\left(x-3\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4\left(x-3\right), the least common multiple of 3-x,4.
-8x+16=3\left(x-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by 2x-4.
-8x+16=3x-9
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-3.
-8x+16-3x=-9
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-11x+16=-9
Combine -8x and -3x to get -11x.
-11x=-9-16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
-11x=-25
Subtract 16 from -9 to get -25.
x=\frac{-25}{-11}
Divide both sides by -11.
x=\frac{25}{11}
Fraction \frac{-25}{-11} can be simplified to \frac{25}{11} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
