Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2.
10x-4-3\left(4-x\right)=36
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 5x-2.
10x-4-12+3x=36
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 4-x.
10x-16+3x=36
Subtract 12 from -4 to get -16.
13x-16=36
Combine 10x and 3x to get 13x.
13x=36+16
Add 16 to both sides.
