9\left(x-2\right)=4\left(6x+2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 36, the least common multiple of 4,9.
9x-18=4\left(6x+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by x-2.
9x-18=24x+8
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 6x+2.
9x-18-24x=8
Subtract 24x from both sides.
-15x-18=8
Combine 9x and -24x to get -15x.
-15x=8+18
Add 18 to both sides.
-15x=26
Add 8 and 18 to get 26.
x=\frac{26}{-15}
Divide both sides by -15.
x=-\frac{26}{15}
Fraction \frac{26}{-15} can be rewritten as -\frac{26}{15} by extracting the negative sign.
