x^{2}+8x-6ax=48a
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x by 4-3a.
x^{2}+8x-6ax-48a=0
Subtract 48a from both sides.
8x-6ax-48a=-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-6ax-48a=-x^{2}-8x
Subtract 8x from both sides.
\left(-6x-48\right)a=-x^{2}-8x
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(-6x-48\right)a}{-6x-48}=-\frac{x\left(x+8\right)}{-6x-48}
Divide both sides by -6x-48.
a=-\frac{x\left(x+8\right)}{-6x-48}
Dividing by -6x-48 undoes the multiplication by -6x-48.
a=\frac{x}{6}
Divide -x\left(8+x\right) by -6x-48.
