-8x-24=3\left(6x+20\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 24, the least common multiple of 24,8.
-8x-24=18x+60
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 6x+20.
-8x-24-18x=60
Subtract 18x from both sides.
-26x-24=60
Combine -8x and -18x to get -26x.
-26x=60+24
Add 24 to both sides.
-26x=84
Add 60 and 24 to get 84.
x=\frac{84}{-26}
Divide both sides by -26.
x=-\frac{42}{13}
Reduce the fraction \frac{84}{-26} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
