The solution

You have entered [src]
18 - 2*(6*x - 4) = -3 + 6*(x + 7)
$$18 - 2 \left(6 x - 4\right) = 6 \left(x + 7\right) - 3$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
18-2*(6*x-4) = -3+6*(x+7)

Expand brackets in the left part
18-2*6*x+2*4 = -3+6*(x+7)

Expand brackets in the right part
18-2*6*x+2*4 = -3+6*x+6*7

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
26 - 12*x = -3+6*x+6*7

Looking for similar summands in the right part:
26 - 12*x = 39 + 6*x

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 12 x = 6 x + 13$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-18\right) x = 13$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -18
x = 13 / (-18)

We get the answer: x = -13/18
