6\left(x-2\right)-2x=8\left(x+3\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
6x-12-2x=8\left(x+3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by x-2.
4x-12=8\left(x+3\right)
Combine 6x and -2x to get 4x.
4x-12=8x+24
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by x+3.
4x-12-8x=24
Subtract 8x from both sides.
-4x-12=24
Combine 4x and -8x to get -4x.
-4x=24+12
Add 12 to both sides.
-4x=36
Add 24 and 12 to get 36.
x=\frac{36}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=-9
Divide 36 by -4 to get -9.
