Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
68+16x-28-\left(-6x\right)-36-\left(84-18x\right)=0
To find the opposite of 28-6x, find the opposite of each term.
68+16x-28+6x-36-\left(84-18x\right)=0
The opposite of -6x is 6x.
40+16x+6x-36-\left(84-18x\right)=0
Subtract 28 from 68 to get 40.
40+22x-36-\left(84-18x\right)=0
Combine 16x and 6x to get 22x.
4+22x-\left(84-18x\right)=0
Subtract 36 from 40 to get 4.
4+22x-84-\left(-18x\right)=0
To find the opposite of 84-18x, find the opposite of each term.
4+22x-84+18x=0
The opposite of -18x is 18x.
-80+22x+18x=0
Subtract 84 from 4 to get -80.
-80+40x=0
Combine 22x and 18x to get 40x.
40x=80
Add 80 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{80}{40}
Divide both sides by 40.
x=2
Divide 80 by 40 to get 2.
