Answer: x = 14/23
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-6=4(2-3x)-8x
3x-6=8-12x-8x --> Expand 4(2-3x)
3x-6=8-20x --> Collect like terms
3x-6+6=8-20x+6 --> Add 6 to both sides, to remove it from the right side
3x=-20x+14
3x+20x=-20x+14+20x --> Add 20x to both sides, to remove it from the left side
23x=14
--> Divide both sides by 23
x = 14/23
