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.
40-10x-36-\left(84-18x\right)=0
Combine -16x and 6x to get -10x.
4-10x-\left(84-18x\right)=0
Subtract 36 from 40 to get 4.
4-10x-84-\left(-18x\right)=0
To find the opposite of 84-18x, find the opposite of each term.
4-10x-84+18x=0
The opposite of -18x is 18x.
-80-10x+18x=0
Subtract 84 from 4 to get -80.
-80+8x=0
Combine -10x and 18x to get 8x.
8x=80
Add 80 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{80}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=10
Divide 80 by 8 to get 10.
