6\left(x-1\right)+4\left(-\frac{3\left(x-2\right)}{6}\right)=3\left(x+4\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 2,3,6,4.
6x-6+4\left(-\frac{3\left(x-2\right)}{6}\right)=3\left(x+4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by x-1.
6x-6+4\left(-\frac{3x-6}{6}\right)=3\left(x+4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-2.
6x-6+\frac{-4\left(3x-6\right)}{6}=3\left(x+4\right)
Express 4\left(-\frac{3x-6}{6}\right) as a single fraction.
6x-6+\frac{-4\left(3x-6\right)}{6}=3x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+4.
6x-6-\frac{2}{3}\left(3x-6\right)=3x+12
Divide -4\left(3x-6\right) by 6 to get -\frac{2}{3}\left(3x-6\right).
6x-6-\frac{2}{3}\times 3x-\frac{2}{3}\left(-6\right)=3x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply -\frac{2}{3} by 3x-6.
6x-6-2x-\frac{2}{3}\left(-6\right)=3x+12
Cancel out 3 and 3.
6x-6-2x+\frac{-2\left(-6\right)}{3}=3x+12
Express -\frac{2}{3}\left(-6\right) as a single fraction.
6x-6-2x+\frac{12}{3}=3x+12
Multiply -2 and -6 to get 12.
6x-6-2x+4=3x+12
Divide 12 by 3 to get 4.
4x-6+4=3x+12
Combine 6x and -2x to get 4x.
4x-2=3x+12
Add -6 and 4 to get -2.
4x-2-3x=12
Subtract 3x from both sides.
x-2=12
Combine 4x and -3x to get x.
x=12+2
Add 2 to both sides.
x=14
Add 12 and 2 to get 14.
