Multiply both sides by 6
3(x+1)=6(2x-4)

Then distribute on both sides
3x+3=12x-24

Subtract 3x from both sides
3=9x-24

Add 24 to both sides
27=9x

Divide both sides by 9
3=x

Final answer: x=3

well first you would want to use you distributive property and make that 3x +3 over 6 = 2x -4 and then using inverse operations you'd get rid of 2x on both sides which would give you 1x (or x) +3 =-4 and then using inverse operations you'd subtract the 3 from both sides which would give you x=-1
