Expand.
\[-8+2x=6x+12+3x\]
Regroup terms.
\[2x-8=6x+12+3x\]
Simplify \(6x+12+3x\) to \(9x+12\).
\[2x-8=9x+12\]
Subtract \(2x\) from both sides.
\[-8=9x+12-2x\]
Simplify \(9x+12-2x\) to \(7x+12\).
\[-8=7x+12\]
Subtract \(12\) from both sides.
\[-8-12=7x\]
Simplify \(-8-12\) to \(-20\).
\[-20=7x\]
Divide both sides by \(7\).
\[-\frac{20}{7}=x\]
Switch sides.
\[x=-\frac{20}{7}\]
Decimal Form: -2.857143
x=-20/7
