Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,4,6.
8x+4+3\left(x-5\right)=12-2\left(3x+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2x+1.
8x+4+3x-15=12-2\left(3x+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-5.
11x+4-15=12-2\left(3x+2\right)
Combine 8x and 3x to get 11x.
11x-11=12-2\left(3x+2\right)
Subtract 15 from 4 to get -11.
11x-11=12-6x-4
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 3x+2.
11x-11=8-6x
Subtract 4 from 12 to get 8.
11x-11+6x=8
