The given equation is expressed as
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(4x\text{ - 3) + 18 = 4(3 + 2x)} \\ We\text{ would multiply each terms inside the bracket by the term outside the bracket.} \\ It\text{ becomes} \\ 2\times4x\text{ + (2}\times-3)+18=(4\times3)\text{ + (4}\times2x) \\ 8x+-\text{ 6 + 18 = 12 + 8x} \\ 8x\text{ - 6 - 8x = 12 - 18} \\ 8x\text{ - 8x = 12 - 18 + 6} \\ 0\text{ = 0} \end{gathered}[/tex]
