4(2x+3)=-6+5x
Multiply the bracket by 4
(4)(2x)(4)(3)=-6+5x
8x+12=5x-6
Move 5x to the other side. Sign changes from +5x to -5x.
8x-5x+12=5x-5x-6
8x-5x+12=-6
3x+12=-6
Move 12 to the other side. Sign changes from +12 to -12.
3x+12-12=-6-12
3x=-18
Divide by 3 for both sides
3x/3=-18/3
Cross out 3 and 3, divide by 3 and then becomes x
x=-6
Answer: x=-6
