2\left(7x-4\right)=6x+16
Multiply both sides of the equation by 8, the least common multiple of 4,8.
14x-8=6x+16
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 7x-4.
14x-8-6x=16
Subtract 6x from both sides.
8x-8=16
Combine 14x and -6x to get 8x.
8x=16+8
Add 8 to both sides.
8x=24
Add 16 and 8 to get 24.
x=\frac{24}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=3
Divide 24 by 8 to get 3.
