\sqrt{98}\left(2x-3\right)=6\left(x+4\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -4 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+4.
7\sqrt{2}\left(2x-3\right)=6\left(x+4\right)
Factor 98=7^{2}\times 2. Rewrite the square root of the product \sqrt{7^{2}\times 2} as the product of square roots \sqrt{7^{2}}\sqrt{2}. Take the square root of 7^{2}.
14x\sqrt{2}-21\sqrt{2}=6\left(x+4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 7\sqrt{2} by 2x-3.
14x\sqrt{2}-21\sqrt{2}=6x+24
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by x+4.
14x\sqrt{2}-21\sqrt{2}-6x=24
Subtract 6x from both sides.
14x\sqrt{2}-6x=24+21\sqrt{2}
Add 21\sqrt{2} to both sides.
\left(14\sqrt{2}-6\right)x=24+21\sqrt{2}
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(14\sqrt{2}-6\right)x=21\sqrt{2}+24
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(14\sqrt{2}-6\right)x}{14\sqrt{2}-6}=\frac{21\sqrt{2}+24}{14\sqrt{2}-6}
Divide both sides by 14\sqrt{2}-6.
x=\frac{21\sqrt{2}+24}{14\sqrt{2}-6}
Dividing by 14\sqrt{2}-6 undoes the multiplication by 14\sqrt{2}-6.
x=\frac{231\sqrt{2}}{178}+\frac{183}{89}
Divide 24+21\sqrt{2} by 14\sqrt{2}-6.
