First: eliminate the parenthesis > use distribution by multiplying the outer term with the terms in the parenthesis....
4(x) + 4(2) - 3x = x - 6
4x + 8 - 3x = x - 6
x + 8 = x - 6
Sec: subtract "8" from both sides (when you move a variable/term to the opposite side, use the opposite sign)...
x + 8 - 8 = x - 6 - 8
x = x - 14
Third: subtract "x" from both sides...
x - x = x - x - 14
0 = - 14
"0" doesn't equal "-14" because they are different numbers so, there is no solution.

4 * x and 4 * 2 = 4x + 8
that leave 4x + 8 - 3x = x - 6
4x - 3x + 8 = x - 6
combine like term s 4x - 3x = x
x + 8 = x - 6
-x + 6 = -x + 6
14 = 0 no real solution

4x+8-3x=x-6
x+8=x-6
x+14=x
14=0
0 divided by 14=0
answer-0
I hope! im only 12!

there is no value for x
4x+8-3x=x-6
x+8=x-6
0x=-14
