Solve the equation
x=\frac{7}{2}
Alternative Form
x=3.5
Evaluate
3\left(4-2x\right)+6=-2x+4
Move the expression to the left side
3\left(4-2x\right)+6-\left(-2x+4\right)=0
Calculate the sum or difference

Evaluate
3\left(4-2x\right)+6-\left(-2x+4\right)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
3\left(4-2x\right)+6+2x-4
Subtract the numbers
3\left(4-2x\right)+2+2x
3\left(4-2x\right)+2+2x=0

Evaluate
-6x+2x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
\left(-6+2\right)x
Add the numbers
-4x
14-4x
14-4x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
-4x=0-14
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
-4x=-14
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
4x=14
Divide both sides
\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{14}{4}
Divide the numbers
x=\frac{14}{4}
Solution
x=\frac{7}{2}
Alternative Form
x=3.5
