4\left(x+3\right)=16x-24
Multiply both sides of the equation by 8.
4x+12=16x-24
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+3.
4x+12-16x=-24
Subtract 16x from both sides.
-12x+12=-24
Combine 4x and -16x to get -12x.
-12x=-24-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
-12x=-36
Subtract 12 from -24 to get -36.
x=\frac{-36}{-12}
Divide both sides by -12.
x=3
Divide -36 by -12 to get 3.
