Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
2x-3-8+4x=4x-12
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by 2-x.
2x-11+4x=4x-12
Subtract 8 from -3 to get -11.
6x-11=4x-12
Combine 2x and 4x to get 6x.
6x-11-4x=-12
Subtract 4x from both sides.
2x-11=-12
Combine 6x and -4x to get 2x.
2x=-12+11
Add 11 to both sides.
2x=-1
Add -12 and 11 to get -1.
x=\frac{-1}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=-\frac{1}{2}
Fraction \frac{-1}{2} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{2} by extracting the negative sign.
