4\left(x+2\right)-3x=9x-24
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,4.
4x+8-3x=9x-24
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+2.
x+8=9x-24
Combine 4x and -3x to get x.
x+8-9x=-24
Subtract 9x from both sides.
-8x+8=-24
Combine x and -9x to get -8x.
-8x=-24-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
-8x=-32
Subtract 8 from -24 to get -32.
x=\frac{-32}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
x=4
Divide -32 by -8 to get 4.
