Answer

$x=6$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 3(3x-8)=4x+6$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow 9x-24=4x+6$ Add $-4x+24$ to each sides. $\Rightarrow 9x-24-4x+24=4x+6-4x+24$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 5x=30$ Divide both sides by $5$. $\Rightarrow \frac{5x}{5}=\frac{30}{5}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x=6$.
