8\left(x-4\right)-2\left(3x-1\right)=6\left(3x+1\right)+3\left(9x-2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 24, the least common multiple of 3,12,4,8.
8x-32-2\left(3x-1\right)=6\left(3x+1\right)+3\left(9x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by x-4.
8x-32-6x+2=6\left(3x+1\right)+3\left(9x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 3x-1.
2x-32+2=6\left(3x+1\right)+3\left(9x-2\right)
Combine 8x and -6x to get 2x.
2x-30=6\left(3x+1\right)+3\left(9x-2\right)
Add -32 and 2 to get -30.
2x-30=18x+6+3\left(9x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 3x+1.
2x-30=18x+6+27x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 9x-2.
2x-30=45x+6-6
Combine 18x and 27x to get 45x.
2x-30=45x
Subtract 6 from 6 to get 0.
2x-30-45x=0
Subtract 45x from both sides.
-43x-30=0
Combine 2x and -45x to get -43x.
-43x=30
Add 30 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{30}{-43}
Divide both sides by -43.
x=-\frac{30}{43}
Fraction \frac{30}{-43} can be rewritten as -\frac{30}{43} by extracting the negative sign.
