6\left(3x-2\right)=5\left(2x+4\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 30, the least common multiple of 5,6.
18x-12=5\left(2x+4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 3x-2.
18x-12=10x+20
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 2x+4.
18x-12-10x=20
Subtract 10x from both sides.
8x-12=20
Combine 18x and -10x to get 8x.
8x=20+12
Add 12 to both sides.
8x=32
Add 20 and 12 to get 32.
x=\frac{32}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=4
Divide 32 by 8 to get 4.
