Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,2,4.
12x-12+4x=6\times 3x-3\left(8-3x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by 3-x.
16x-12=6\times 3x-3\left(8-3x\right)
Combine 12x and 4x to get 16x.
16x-12=18x-3\left(8-3x\right)
Multiply 6 and 3 to get 18.
16x-12=18x-24+9x
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 8-3x.
16x-12=27x-24
Combine 18x and 9x to get 27x.
16x-12-27x=-24
Subtract 27x from both sides.
-11x-12=-24
Combine 16x and -27x to get -11x.
-11x=-24+12
Add 12 to both sides.
-11x=-12
Add -24 and 12 to get -12.
x=\frac{-12}{-11}
Divide both sides by -11.
x=\frac{12}{11}
Fraction \frac{-12}{-11} can be simplified to \frac{12}{11} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
