3\left(x-4\right)-2\left(2x+5\right)-6=x-3\left(x-4\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3,6.
3x-12-2\left(2x+5\right)-6=x-3\left(x-4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-4.
3x-12-4x-10-6=x-3\left(x-4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 2x+5.
-x-12-10-6=x-3\left(x-4\right)
Combine 3x and -4x to get -x.
-x-22-6=x-3\left(x-4\right)
Subtract 10 from -12 to get -22.
-x-28=x-3\left(x-4\right)
Subtract 6 from -22 to get -28.
-x-28=x-3x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x-4.
-x-28=-2x+12
Combine x and -3x to get -2x.
-x-28+2x=12
Add 2x to both sides.
x-28=12
Combine -x and 2x to get x.
x=12+28
Add 28 to both sides.
x=40
Add 12 and 28 to get 40.
