8x+6x-12=16x-28
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by x-2.
14x-12=16x-28
Combine 8x and 6x to get 14x.
14x-12-16x=-28
Subtract 16x from both sides.
-2x-12=-28
Combine 14x and -16x to get -2x.
-2x=-28+12
Add 12 to both sides.
-2x=-16
Add -28 and 12 to get -16.
x=\frac{-16}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=8
Divide -16 by -2 to get 8.
