First you had to divide by four from both sides of equation form.
[tex]\frac{4(3x+2)}{4}= \frac{68}{4}[/tex]
Then simplify.
[tex]3x+2=17[/tex]
Next, subtract by two from both sides of equation form.
[tex]3x+2-2=17-2[/tex]
Simplify.
[tex]3x=15[/tex]
Then you divide by three from both sides of equation form.
[tex]\frac{3x}{3}= \frac{15}{3}[/tex]
Finally, simplify by equation.
[tex]\frac{15}{3}=5[/tex]
[tex]5*3=15[/tex]
[tex]3*5=15[/tex]
[tex]15/3=5[/tex]
[tex]15/5=3[/tex]
[tex]x=5[/tex]
Final answer: [tex]\boxed{x=5}[/tex]
Hope this helps!
And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:4 times (3x+2) = 68
Do (3x+2) = 68/4 or 3x+2 = 17
Then 3x = 17-2 or 3x = 15
Then X = 15/3 = 5
