6x+18-9x-3=4\left(2\left(x-2\right)-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 3x+1.
-3x+18-3=4\left(2\left(x-2\right)-2\right)
Combine 6x and -9x to get -3x.
-3x+15=4\left(2\left(x-2\right)-2\right)
Subtract 3 from 18 to get 15.
-3x+15=4\left(2x-4-2\right)

-11x=-39
Subtract 15 from -24 to get -39.
x=\frac{-39}{-11}
Divide both sides by -11.
x=\frac{39}{11}
Fraction \frac{-39}{-11} can be simplified to \frac{39}{11} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
