3(2+x)=2(x-4)

Solution for 3(2+x)=2(x-4) equation:

Simplifying
3(2 + x) = 2(x + -4)
(2 * 3 + x * 3) = 2(x + -4)
(6 + 3x) = 2(x + -4)

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
6 + 3x + -2x = -8 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = 1x
6 + 1x = -8 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
6 + 1x = -8 + 0
6 + 1x = -8

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + 1x = -8 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + 1x = -8 + -6
1x = -8 + -6

Combine like terms: -8 + -6 = -14
1x = -14

Divide each side by '1'.
