48x-3\left(6x+3\right)=24x-4
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
48x-18x-9=24x-4
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 6x+3.
30x-9=24x-4
Combine 48x and -18x to get 30x.
30x-9-24x=-4
Subtract 24x from both sides.
6x-9=-4
Combine 30x and -24x to get 6x.
6x=-4+9
Add 9 to both sides.
6x=5
Add -4 and 9 to get 5.
x=\frac{5}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
