Answer:
x = -14/11
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x - 2) + 4(2x - 6) = 6(x - 4) + 8(2x + 1)
Distribute each number to the left of each set of parentheses.
3x - 6 + 8x - 24 = 6x - 24 + 16x + 8
Add 24 to both sides.
3x - 6 + 8x = 6x + 16x + 8
Combine like terms on each side.
11x - 6 = 22x + 8
Subtract 22x from both sides:
-11x - 6 = 8
Add 6 to both sides:
-11x = 14
Divide both sides by -22:
x = -14/11
