2x-16=x-2\left(x-6\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
2x-16=x-2x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x-6.
2x-16=-x+12
Combine x and -2x to get -x.
2x-16+x=12
Add x to both sides.
3x-16=12
Combine 2x and x to get 3x.
3x=12+16
Add 16 to both sides.
3x=28
Add 12 and 16 to get 28.
x=\frac{28}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
