What is the solution to 8x-3(2x-4)=3(x-6)?

8x - 3(2x -4) = 3(x-6)
Open the parenthesis and distribute
8x - 6x + 12 = 3x - 18
Combine like terms
2x + 12 = 3x - 18
Subtract both sides by 3x and 12
-x = -30
Multiply -1 to both sides
x = 30

That's your answer.
Have an awesome day! :)

Hello! First, let's write it out to start things out by doing the distributive property. It should be written out like this:

8x - 6x + 12 = 3x - 18

Now, combine like terms to get this:

2x + 12 = 3x - 18

You do this, because of the distributive property and with the negative symbol being in front of 3, you distribute that negative along with it, and you needed to combine like terms to make it easier to solve. First, subtract 3x from both sides in order to get -1x + 12 = -18. subtract 12 from both sides to get -1x = -30. Divide each side by -1 to isolate the x. -30/-1 is 30. Let's check it. 2 * 30 is 60. 60 + 12 is 72. 3 * 30 is 90. 90 -18 is 72. 72 = 72. There. x = 30.
