2\left(x+3\right)-16=3\left(x-2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 6,3,4.
2x+6-16=3\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+3.
2x-10=3\left(x-2\right)
Subtract 16 from 6 to get -10.
2x-10=3x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-2.
2x-10-3x=-6
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-x-10=-6
Combine 2x and -3x to get -x.
-x=-6+10
Add 10 to both sides.
-x=4
Add -6 and 10 to get 4.
x=-4
Multiply both sides by -1.
